Editing a Listing After It's Already Live

For OrganizersUpdated May 10, 2026
All guides

Once a listing is published, you can still change almost anything. Correct a typo, add a photo, adjust the price, or improve the description without taking the listing down.

What you can edit

  • **Item name** — Fix a typo or add more detail
  • **Price** — Raise or lower at any time
  • **Category or tags** — Improve searchability
  • **Condition grade** — If you spot damage later
  • **Details/description** — Add notes about condition, care, or features
  • **Photos** — Retake a photo, add more angles, or rearrange the order

What you can't edit

  • **Listing type** — If it's an auction, you can't change it to a fixed-price sale mid-auction
  • **Sale event** (if linked) — You can't move a listing to a different sale or event after it's live

How to edit a live listing

  1. On your dashboard, tap "My Listings."
  2. Find the listing you want to edit.
  3. Tap it to open the detail view.
  4. Tap "Edit" or the pencil icon.
  5. Change the field you want to update.
  6. Tap "Save."

The listing updates immediately. Shoppers see the new info right away.

Common edits

You noticed a typo: "Wooded dresser" should be "Wooden dresser." Edit the name and save.

The price isn't moving: Lower it by 10–15% to spark interest. Edit the price and save.

You took more photos: In the edit view, tap "Add photos" to upload more angles.

The description needs clarification: Add a detail: "One leg is slightly loose but can be tightened with a wrench" or "The finish has normal wear for its age."

Shoppers keep asking about the same thing: If three people ask "What size is this?", add the size to the name or details so future shoppers see it: "Dresser, 42 inches wide, 36 inches tall."

You underestimated demand: If you're getting multiple offers, raise the price. If it's an auction, raising the starting bid won't affect current bids, but you can note a higher reserve if one exists.

Before and after editing

Once you edit a listing, shoppers see the updated info. If you've already gotten inquiries or bids, make sure your edit is accurate. Changing a price or condition after someone has placed a bid might cause disputes.
