Fixed price listings
If you list using the fixed price or multi-quantity fixed price format, before a sale you can change any information except the format. Change the listing title as long as there are at least 12 hours left before the listing ends. Also, the duration can't be extended if 2 or more hours have passed since the listing was submitted.
After a sale, you can make revisions. 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 the item they purchased from the Order details page.
Note: You can make limited changes if you have a pending Best Offer. After you respond to the Best Offer, you can change any information except the format and duration.
If you have pending Best Offers you can:
Change price and quantity
Add additional shipping options, payment methods, or a second category
Add or remove optional features (except subtitle)—you will not receive a refund for the cost of the feature
Change buyer requirements
