Can't revise a current listing

I am attempting to add additional pictures to a current listing with bids. E-bay is giving errors and won't permit the updating.

Once there is a bid (or an outstanding offer on a BIN listing) there is a "lock" icon on every relevant aspect of the listing.

I would assume this is to prevent any possibility of an info "bait and switch" on the potential customer.

I know this is frustrating, as I have been in this situation a few times with both pictures & body text to further clarify for potential clients. I do, however, appreciate the intent to protect the integrity of the transaction.

If you have a potential buyer that was seeking additional images of an item you have for sale, I recommend messaging that buyer with the photos via eBay messages.

You can always update any info in that listing once all bids/offers/etc. are cleared out, should the item not sell.

Best of luck with shop & sales.

That seems odd, if it's just adding photos. Shimmy down to 'Auction-style >12 hrs'. Here's the policy. >> Revise a listing | eBay

@3-putts-3 @mtgraves7984 Seems like a seller should NOT be able to 'add photos' to an auction that has bids. What if the picture a seller is adding is of the item, broken in half, or a crack that wasn't shown before??

Auctions: have bids, NO 'editing'. Period (regardless of what a 'oops' policy might state.

I didn't know it was an 'oops' policy... my bad. Plus, I was thinking the OP might be adding better photos, maybe on request.

@mtgraves7984 oh, don't get me wrong... the 'oops' is my opinion as I don't know if it is; but at one time there was a 'no editing auctions when there are bids'...and it would make NO sense to allow people to 'edit' anything on an auction.
