Would the buyer's 'copy' of the listing show the original listing at the time of purchase?

Nope - once its changed, its changed for everyone (unless you take a screenshot).

I ended up paying for the dress anyway, as I didn't want to mess the seller around. I planned to re-list it on Ebay once received....

but.....

.. the dress arrived today, and in spite of being labelled an EU 38, UK 10, and therefore should be two sizes too small .... drum roll please .....

it fits me !!!!!

:j

I am so chuffed, I never thought I would ever fit into a size 10 ever again!

:rotfl:

(It is stretchy material, but even so)

:D:D

Thank you Ebay, thank you !

Any chance of informing us of which seller...I'd love to be a size 10 again!

with a BIN listing, the description and gallery pic can all be changed as many times as you like, even after sales have been made. Its only really the item title that can't be changed after any sales have been made.

The OP and Crowqueen are talking about auctions though - and, the latter, specifically, free listing day auctions. If you try to edit a free listing day auction after the free listing weekend, then you are charged listing fees.

Ha ha when did that come in - i used to do it all the time.

My description used to just say "description and photo to follow"

Sometimes i would realise my old lawnmower was too bad to sell - and change the listing to a kettle. Never thought about snipe bidders.

Yes - if you buy an item with more than one, and the listing is changed after you bought it - you get a message at the top of the item page - telling you its changed and a link to view your original listing.

Me too but it changed quite a while back - I know some people have been caught out by it and ended up paying fees they didn't expect to. I guess too many of us were using "placeholders" while we rumaged the cupboards!

I know thats what the thread is about but I was responding specifically to Crowqueens post that mentioned buying from multiple item listings (i.e BINs).

Now that I didn't know. A very good feature to have though.
