I have an item which has a bid on it. I have had a potential buyer in Europe who wants to place a bid and I am happy to let him do so. However it seems I cannot now amend my auction (3 days left). I always though minor changes were allowed. Is there a way around this?

I didn't know that existed. So much safer than generally opening up buyer requirements that could allow the more undesireable to spoil."Now to trolling as a concept. ....

How come when I asked that question, another post said it wasn't possible?
You can't have a selected bidders list only - ebay removed that option ages ago. All you can do is block bidders you don't want.
If the potential buyer is only interested in the one item, you only need to revise that one item. You can still restrict bidding to people in the same region as the potential buyer, rather than open it out worldwide.
If you only put in the postage cost of the country the potential buyer is located in, that should also put off many in other countries.
Or, if you only want to sell to the UK plus this one overseas potential buyer, why not just tell the potential buyer how much postage will be via ebay messages and tell them if they win, you will invoice them accordingly?
If you are not happy with posting abroad, tell any overseas enquirers its a UK listing only, as specified.0 -

This was all I knew about ... and knew the function was no longer active:

If you click the link to try to create the list, you'll see."Now to trolling as a concept. .... Personally, I've always found it a little sad that people choose to spend such a large proportion of their lives in this way but they do, and we have to deal with it." - MSE Forum Manager 6th July 20100
