Auction Selling Revealed Blog

It is important to check a few detail before listing an item to bid. Take note of the title, subtitle, or description, the item category, the item’s minimum bid price, the item’s buy it now price (or adding a buy it now price) , the reserve price (you can add, change, or remove it) , the duration of your listing, the url of the picture you’re including with your auction, a private auction designation (you can add or remove it), accepted payment methods, the item location, and shipping terms. Here is how you change the listing of your auction as long as it does not end in 12 hours:

Go to the auction page and click the Revise Your Item link.

This link will appear only if you’ve signed in on eBay. If the item hasn’t received any bids, a message appears on your screen to indicate that you may update the item. You’re taken to the Revise Your Item page, which outlines the rules for revising your item. At the bottom, the item number is filled in.

Click Revise Item.

You arrive at the Revise Your Item page which looks suspiciously like the Sell Your Item form.

Click the link that corresponds to the area you’d like to change.

Make changes to the item information.

When you’ve finished making changes, click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page.A summary of your newly revised auction page appears on your screen. If you’ve incurred any additional fees, the amount is listed at the bottom of the page. If you want to make more changes, click the Back button of your browser and redo the Update Your Information page.

When you’re happy with your revisions, click Submit Revisions.

You’re taken to your newly revised auction item page, where you see a disclaimer from eBay that says you’ve revised the auction before the first bid.
