Editing a live listing
If you need to edit a live listing – we can help.
To get started, select Edit from your listing.
Auctions
Has the reserve price been met?
If the auction hasn't met reserve, you can edit:
- Start and reserve price (to within $0.01 of the current bid).
- Buy Now price.
- Accept or decline an offer (general items only).
- Payment and shipping options.
- Photos.
-
Promotional extras.
If the Buy Now is lowered, we'll notify members who have Watchlisted your listing.
Most things can't be edited, except for:
- Adding new shipping (unless 'Must pick up' was selected).
- Adding new payment options.
- Adding new photos.
- Adding promotional extras.
Want to make other changes? You can:
- Add any extra info as a seller comment.
- Remove bids, to bring the bidding back below reserve.
- If you've discovered new damage, or a mistake in your listing, it's best to withdraw it and relist with the correct info.
If your listing has a reserve or start price, it can't be changed to a Buy Now only or multiple quantity listing (MQL). You'll need to create a new listing.
