Whoops I dropped a clanger -HLP PLS!

listed an item late last night on e-bay - i've just noticed that i've left one of the main search criteria out of the title! i already have 7 bids on the item but it has over 9 days to run. Is there anyway I can revised the title to include the word stuipdly missed out?

I'm abit miffed as I am sure it's going to affect the end value!

many thanks in advance

    thinking about it...if i remove the 7 bids manually - would i then be able to add the detail to title...and would i get into trouble with e-bay for doing this?

    If you go into MyEbay and click on the item you are selling there is an option to revise your item. Click on that and then click on 'title' on the right and add the extra word.

    Huggins is correct in that the current bids would need to be removed before a revision is allowed.

    Soo

    hi mr clingford - it won't let me do that as I have bids on the item. I think you can only revise this way if you hvae no bids - unless i'm missing something.

    thansk anyway
  • Yeah, I then tried out my own advice to find that it didn't work. Sorry! That's why I removed my post because it was rubbish!

    Why don't you get another E-bay member to ask you a question,then you can show the question and answer on your listing and mention the correct title on there.it would be better then nothing.
    Never pay more than you have too

    If you cancel the bids manually you should be able to edit it. Unfortunately your added word in the title can take several days to be included in the basic searches.
