Why can't I make revisions?

Please see this post:

I just tried to change the Starting Bid price, and the Buy It Now price. But the software won't allow me to make those changes. I get the little circle with a diagonal slash symbol when I try to type in those boxes.

I don't get it, because I make changes like this all the time. Does anyone have an answer? Thanks.

Changes are restricted because of the amount of time left.

As noted, you can't change it because it has less than 12 hours left.  But since it has not received any bids, you can just end it, and relist.

Just a heads up....I noticed that you have not switched over to MANAGED PAYMENTS.    All sellers are required to change to MANAGED PAYMENTS if you want to continue to sell on EBAY.     PayPal no longer handles EBAY money managements.

To enroll in MANAGED PAYMENTS you must provide CHECKING ACCOUNT (routing#) and SOCIAL SECURITY# (for tax purposes).    Name on checking account, SS# and your EBAY profile must be EXACT MATCH (otherwise you application may be rejected).

@deabra43,

Besides the other things already written you have a bid on the item.  Once a bid is placed you can only make a few revisions.

@caldreamer,

She would have been blocked from posting a listing if ebay wanted her in mangled payments.   Let her enjoy it while she can.

The bid was placed an hour after they posted. 

They still can cancel the bid. But now the only way they can end the listing early would be to sell to the high bidder.

Let's hope that the price change that they wanted to make was a decrease, so they're happy about getting a bid at the original opening bid amount!

Yes, a lot of sellers don't realize that Managed Payments at least at this point in time is by

(no choice) invitation only.  A seller can't switch over unless eBay sends them a message

that it is your turn.

Thanks for all the input! Great info. Can someone please post a link to info about Managed Payments. (I'm not sure I've even seen the term until now. I am pretty new here, and I find some specific info rather hard to find on eBay.)

Thanks again.
