Can I change a listing?

[AntoinetteCosway]

I've just realised that I should have put a reserve on the pacapod changing bag I have listed. (If you search, I'm the mug who's listing starts at 99p.) Both the iPhone and iPad apps tell me I can't alter listings on them, and when I try on the website I can see where to do it but the box is blanked out so I can't write in it!

Any ideas? I have a horrible feeling it's going to sell for a fiver and I'm going to cry.

no because there is a bid

you need to cancel the bid, then add a reserve

if I were you I would just change the start price to higher, it is free today after all. Then no cost of a reserve either.

and make sure you send courier or special delivery, if it goes for more than £46 recorded delivery will not be sufficient.

[AntoinetteCosway]

Oh bugger. Is it really mean to cancel the bid? And yes, good point about the special delivery. I've never sold anything that's really worth anything before!

[fergoose]

no just cancel it, amend the listing and email the buyer and tell them what you have done.

[AntoinetteCosway]

Ok-thank you! Special delivery costs over £9, plus a few quid for packaging means I put £12 down. Other similar bags have only got postage of about £6 listed so I hope that tells buyers I'm serious and to be trusted rather than putting them off!

[fergoose]

Collect Plus will be cheaper than that or Hermes. I wouldn't charge £12 - that seems a lot, plus £3 for packaging seems excessive.

[AntoinetteCosway]

Does it? Ah crap, I figured I'd need a big box plus bubble wrap and £2.50 would just about cover it. Oh well, if it doesn't sell I've learned for next time!
