How to Edit an Ebay Listing

Selling your items on eBay is a fun and profitable way to make extra cash, but sometimes it is necessary to edit an eBay listing.

• Check out the link in Resources for more informaton on revising bid information on eBay.
• The different aspects of your auction that you can revise depend on whether there is a bid on the item and the amount of time left on the listing.
• You can't extend the length of time the auction runs after two hours have passed from the time the auction opened. You can't remove a bid and then edit your auction.
