RalphJ, your wife is a smart lady.
I have filed support requests over having to make the same changes over and over, as well as image sizing sizing and border issues.
When I change the category from the closed listing page, it lasts until the item closes again and then i have to do it all over. it needs to be sticky.
When I correct an image by removing the frames, which ebay will not permit starting in the spring, it does not show up in closed listings. i have to click on the image and see the ebay ad to see if the frame is gone.
i spend half my days on relisting, fixing, checking...its almost absurd.
it would be so helpful it the changes stuck. The other irony is that if you change a title of a listing (in closed listings), that sticks, so why can't the others?
