Cannot revise a listing (to include some add'l stuff), so can I contact each bidder instead?

[jimohaya]

Hi,

I have an auction that is going to end soon (3 hours from now), but I just found some additional things that I want to include (the auction is for a camera, and I just found the original box, etc.).  It looks like I cannot revise the auction at this point?

If not, I was wondering if I could contact each of the current bidders and let them know about this?

Thanks,

Jim

Nope.

You can't change your listing 3 hours before it ends!

Messaging your bidders wont work either.  What if the high bidder(s) don't receive your message?

There's nothing you can do but let it end and explain things to the high bidder. They may or may not want to go ahead with the sale. 

"By the way, that gold coin you bid on is not really gold.  It's milk chocolate covered in gold foil.  But it's delicious!"

Good luck and stay safe!

To add to Grandma's good advice, you could let the winner know of your findings... after the auction ends.

Might be they'd want to buy them, too. Just a thought...

Just to be clear:  The original auction listing didn't include the original packaging and also the original battery charger, but I was rummaging around our house today because I was trying to find something (not for this camera) and then I found the box, etc.  So I figured I might add the additional information to the listing (so this is a GOOD thing).  I will let whoever wins the auction know and ask if they want the add'l stuff, and I am almost sure they will say "yes" (I know that *I* would!).

Our posts crossed - that is what I am planning to do, but I am not going to ask them to BUY them but will just include it in the shipment.  I really have no use for the extra stuff, since I am selling the camera already.

Well, honestly, I thought of your plan, too. My evil twin typed my reply. Teeheehee

@mtgraves7984No problem.  I think I am good now.

Thanks,
