Once you've listed your item, you may be able to change some details in your listing, depending on the time that’s left before the listing ends and whether you've received any bids or sales.
To revise your listing:
Click My eBay at the top of most eBay pages.
Under My eBay Views, click Selling. Your active listings are displayed.
Selling Manager and Selling Manager Pro subscribers: Use the Active view within My eBay.
In the row for the item you want to change, from the Action column dropdown menu, click Revise.
On the 'Revise your listing' page, make your changes. (Any grey sections can't be revised.)
Click Save and Continue.
To revise multiple listings:
Select the listings you want to revise, and click the Edit button.
Note: You can only revise 10 listings at once unless you’re a Selling Manager or Selling Manager Pro subscriber (subscribers can revise up to 200 listings at once.)
Specify the information you want to edit on the Edit Listing page.
Select Edit listings individually to change listings one at a time.
–or–
Select Edit listings in bulk to make the same changes to all of the listings (according to their selling format).
Click Continue.

Edit your listings and click Continue.
For items associated with products that may be in our catalog, you’ll be offered the option to “Add product details to your listing.”
If you’re editing listings in bulk, we’ll ask you to add product details to listings one at a time.
Check your changes on the 'Review your listings' page.
Click the Submit button. If you need to make more changes first, click the Back button.
Notes:
If you make any of the following changes, recent sales from your listing will be reset to zero. As recent sales is one of several factors in how we rank listings in search, your revised listing's appearance in search may be affected. Recent sales is relevant to your listing's position in search results only if it is a Buy It Now listing.
Change of listing title
Change of item condition
Change in description
Change of category
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. For more information, see How can I find my listing?
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. Also, 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, 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 may incur a fee and change some upgrade and insertion fees. If your item doesn't sell and you relist it, you may be able to get an insertion fee credit (this doesn't apply to Fixed Price listings).
