Home : Help : Basics : Change or Cancel my Listing?

How can I change something or cancel my listing completely?

Title, description, or picture information: These can be changed as long as there are no bids on your item. Go to your item's page, look for "Update item" link near the top of the listing, and click on "revise."

If your item has already received a bid, you can't change any of the existing information, but you can add pictures or text by using the Adding to Your Item Description page.

Category: You can move your item to a different category at any time. Change your category here. When you change the category, the change will be reflected immediately on the item page, but it won't show up in the new category until the next category update is run.

Opening bid, reserve price, quantity, or item location: These cannot be changed. If you really want to change this information, you will need to cancel and then relist your item. See next section for instructions.

To cancel a listing: If there are bids on your item, you will need to end the auction and if you'd like, relist it following steps 1 through 3 below. If the item doesn't have any bids yet, you only need to do steps 1 and 3.

  1. First, it's a good idea to explain why you are canceling. You can add your explanation by going to Adding to your item description.
  2. Cancel each bid you have received here. In the 'Your explanation of the cancellation' text box, enter a brief, clear reason.
  3. Once all of the bids have been canceled, end your listing here. NOTE: Do this quickly before another bidder has a chance to bid.

If you want to relist the item, go directly to your ended item page (find it by searching by your item number) and click "Relist item" which is below the payment and shipping terms.

Important note about relisting Reserve Price Auctions: You must re-enter any previous reserve price when relisting.
