listing change from Buy it now to Auction

[bimtuckley]

how do you change an existing Buy it now listing to Auction?

You have to end it and then relist it as an auction.

Hm. Interesting. I think this function to change to auction was removed from ebay, at least in it's relist and sell similar pages. I know before there used to be a setting you can click near the top of the page of a sell similar or relist page to change to auction.

The way I would do it now is thru a 3rd party lister like auctiva, but it's a work-around as you aren't revising a live listing to become an auction (can you even do that?) but rather using the listing template and changing it to an auction before posting it live.

Go your active listings list. Next to each item is an edit drop-down menu. From there select change to auction.

Actually this is close, but not entirely correct. At least it isn't for me because I don't see that option in a pulldown menu. It's somewhere else for me.

Please note this doesn't work if you have variations in your listing. I can't remember if it worked in the past.

if it is eligible, it will be there in the drop down

I'm a new seller and can't even find the menu you're on!!  Is it possible to get more specific instructions???
