You can't revise listings like that once there has been a bid - it's not fair to the other bidders.

I would just tell the person to bid and hope they get the item for less than they intended to offer. There's no law saying they have to accept an offer like this and if there are bids there will probably be more. The person offering might actually kick-start a bidding war.

yes, it could be unfair to other bidders, thanks for that Crowqueen, although we all have to decide for ourselves what we consider fair.

(I meant the OP is able to revise the listing if it was still at the start price if she chooses.)

I love bidding wars! Best Wishes

Yes, but probably not if there is a bidder.

I would normally accept a BIN offer and put a BIN on, but if the BIN has gone and there is a bid, it makes no sense to disrupt the other person.

Whether or not we have different ideas of fair, eBay ban sellers from dramatically altering the listing if there are any bids, even if the price is still nominally at the opening price, and the other person is still free to bid if they want the item.

re 'fairness', look at #25 from soolin,

'You have to cancel all bids and then end item.'

You seem to be suggesting cancelling is fair and revising is unfair to bidders.

Sellers do cancel bids you know for all sorts of reasons.

No-one has suggested revising an auction that has bids on, as it cannot be revised, only 'add to description'

Best wishes

Well...it's up to the seller then.

Personally I'd let it run.

But whatever.
