Notes:

When you relist or change a listing title, your listing might not be searchable in a keyword or category search until several hours after you've changed it.
In most cases, you can't change the listing format. For example, you can't change from an auction-style listing to a fixed price listing.
You can't extend the duration of a listing if two or more hours have passed since you submitted the listing.
You may be able to end your listing early and then relist it with any changes you want to make. However, if there are 12 hours or less remaining in an auction-style listing, and the item has a bid, you can't end your listing. Removing a bid doesn't enable you to revise the listing.
Durations of more than seven days can incur a fee and change some upgrade and insertion fees. If your item doesn't sell and you relist it, you might be able to get an insertion fee credit. Fixed price listings are not eligible for insertion fee credits.

Restrictions on making revisions

Fixed Price and Shop inventory listings

If you list using the fixed price, multi-quantity fixed price or Store inventory format, you can make changes up until the item sells.

If you use multi-quantity, fixed price listings, you can revise the listing after a sale. However, you won't be able to change the format, duration, category, or title of the listing. You can see the purchases (and information on the listing at the time of purchase) from the Purchase history page. Buyers can see only the item they purchased from the Order details page.

Notes:

You can't make any changes if you have a pending Best Offer. After you accept or refuse the Best Offer, you can make any revisions or relist the item.
You can remove optional features, but you will not receive a refund for the cost of the feature.
