Help with adding to description after bids

Hi, 

 

Unsure if this a bug or something up with my specific account. 

 

An item I'm selling is due to end in 2 days and around around 11 bids (114192432686). I wanted to add to the description that I've found the manual and mention that I'd taken a close up image of the damaged aerial port. I managed to upload pictures (unfortunately one has my foot in them...) but can't figure out how to add additional text details. I've been away for a while so maybe my account has been limited. Or I'm just over tired and its obvious.

 

Thanks

Since you are a UK member, you might want to check the UK discussion boards to make sure procedures for ebay.co.uk are the same as they are for ebay.com.

https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Discussion-Boards/ct-p/13

 

On ebay.com, here's info on editing listings:

 

Auction-style listings

What you change in an auction-style listing depends on how much time is left on the listing.

 

More than 12 hours

What’s changeable depends on whether your listing has received any bids.

No bids

 

Bids

You can:

  • Add a second category, unless there are category restrictions (fees may apply)
  • Add to the item description
  • Add photos
  • Add optional listing upgrades to increase your item’s visibility

You can’t:

  • Change the listing format
  • Change the listing duration
  • Change the starting price
  • Edit the listing description

Only way I know is to have a friend as the question you are hoping to answer. Answer friend's question and check the box where question and answer are added to the auction.

That won't really work anymore (on .com at least). When you choose to display an answer to a buyer's question it no longer shows on the listing page, buyers would have to click the "contact seller" link to see them.
