Listing Error - please advise!

I listed some items the other day. There were 15 of them. I listed them as "15 x blah blah". Anyway they sold and I had some more (6 of them) so I used the "Sell Similar" option - changing the item title to reflect this (6 x blah blah) and put them on a 1 day sale. I have logged on this morning to find a question from a buyer "Are you selling 6 or 15". In the item description I have not changed the number so it says 6 in the title and 15 in the description. I did change the picture so that the picture shows the correct number. The sale has less than 12 hours left and also has bids so it wont let me revise the item. I answered the question but was not given the option to show the question on the sale.

Do I just have to let the auction run its course and hope that potential buyers look at the title???

    However, seeing some of the threads on here be prepared for a buyer who doesn't read the questions and thinks he is buying 15!

    You've also got the possibility that buyers have set up snipe bids and won't therefore have seen the question and answer.

    Soo
