How do you edit a title?

nyam123Member

I listed a ton of auctions yesterday, mainly kids clothes. Well, since then, I have found the name of one of the "lines". I would make alot more money if that name were in my title or in a subtitle. For some reason I cannot edit the title when I try to revise it. I have just enough characters left to do it, but I do not even get the option. Nor do I get an option to promote with a subtitle. I can add every other promotion, including highlighting and bolding my title, etc. Anyone know how I can either edit my title or add a subtitle without ending and relisting? I have a bid already and a few people watching. I am sure I could edit my title in the past. Not so sure why they won't allow it now. Thanks for any help.

Hi. I think it depends on if you any bid's and what duration you have left on the auction. Here's a link just scroll down to the limitation's part of the page.
Hope it helps.

I had found that page earlier and according to it I cannot edit the title, but I can add promotions, like the subtitle. When I go to revise it, that option is never there either. I have 1 bid but 6 days left. I should be able to at least add a subtitle. I have emailed ebay for an answer, I would love to know why I cannot add a subtitle. Makes no sense. It would make me and ebay more money.

According to eBay rules, you should be able to add the subtitle right up until the end of auction. Is the subtitle greyed out or not showing? Maybe you could check with Live help or Live chat (something like that?)

Also, keep in mind that subtitles aren't searchable.

I thought I could add a subtitle up to the end of the auction too. It is not even an option when I try to revise. Every other promotion, like bold and highlighted is available. I emailed the help center and they sent me a link back for the site map. No help what-so-ever. That was the first place I looked. It's like they didn't even read my email. Oh well.

The "problem" stems from the one bid you have. eBay does not allow certain editing if there's a bid already in place.

If your item has already received a bid/purchase, you can only:

Add to the item description or add a second category (exception: if your listing already has a bid/purchase AND ends within 12 hours, you can't add to your description or add a second category).

You can also add optional seller features to increase your item's visibility.
