Changing terms of auction

[Clementine1]

Can I change the terms of my auction. I have some tickets for sale and want to sell them at face value but want to limit it to someone who has at least 30 days membership. Is it ok to change the terms now even after I have started the auctin and have bids on the tickets. I just don't want them to go to touts.

any ebay experts around now that might know. Thanks.

I would guess most touts would have 30 days membership anyway so changing your terms in that way might not help.

but regardless can I change the terms now to as stated above if I wanted to!

not sure tbh. Is there a chance you could cancel the auction and relist with new terms if no one comes along who knows the answer to your Q? WOuld you have enough time or are the tickets for am imminent event? If all your bidders reach your terms so far then I don't see why you can't add the terms and cancel any bids that don't reach them afterward the terms have been added.

I'm guessing you have bidders already who don't reach your criteria though.

have you tried just amending your buyer requirements and seeing if it takes effect on your listing?

If you have other listings though it will affect them too until you disable the requirements you have put in place.

You can always check the top bidders history and reject the bid If you want to. This will not protect you from last min bidders though.

Afaik. You cannot change the terms of the auction if you have bidders (you can enhance the auction but thats all)
