i listed two items last week and thought they looked ok, today i wondered why not many people were bidding, hubby took a look and said i had spelt monthes wrong( what a idiot), anyway my question is ive tried to revise listing today but ebay wont let me, is it because there is only 9hrs left??

    Yeah you can't revise once you have bids or not long to go.

    It could just be that they are not popular, is it something that would be searched for?
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    "sorry no returns, postage is as stated if you are not happy please do not bid"

    I wouldn't.
  • If I'm looking for baby clothes I just search for the numbers eg 0 3, 3 6 etc instead of putting in months all the time. I'd guess I'm not the only one to search like that so the misspelling may not matter as much as you think.

    I tried to revise a listing today and I can't.........I have checked everything and I am well within the rules for amending.

    It is possible that there is a fault with Ebay.

    I don't think it would affect i that much. Like a previous comment I only put in girls 6-9 and don't bother to write months, so your listing would still appear in any results for someone doing the same. It would also still appear in results when using the age search function (spelling months incorrectly wouldn't affect it again).

    If you look on the completed listings the bundles for that age don't go for much, if they sell. A lot of people have far too many clothes as gifts for tinies.

    Yep, also people are looking for summer clothes at the moment really. Would hold off selling winter clothes in that age group.
