How do I revise a listing to change it from fixed price to an auction?

How do I revise a listing to change it from fixed price to an auction? I have several listings that haven't moved and it seems like an auction might work better.

Do I have to cancel the listing and then re-list it? That seems burdensome!

Thanks.

In most cases, you can't change the listing duration or format. However, you can send a fixed price listing to auction by going to Seller Hub Active Listings - opens in new window or tab and selecting Change to auctionfrom the Actions menu

If you change from fixed price to auction, you will not have the option to add a Buy It Now option
The previous view and watcher information from the fixed price listing will not be carried over to the auction listing
If the fixed price listing has only one item, it will be ended when the auction listing is created
If the fixed price listing has more than one item, one item will be sent to the auction listing and the quantity in the fixed price listing will decrease by one

You can change them, but you have to use seller hub to do it. Once you switch to seller hub, it becomes your default, and you have to switch manually each time to use the my eBay selling pages.
