Item about to sell, but need to edit - help!

Is there anything I can do about my listing on a DS game I'm about to sell? I have listed it as being in perfect brand new condition, which it is, I bought it as part of a bundle and thought I'd make a bit of money back on it as I didn't really want it. It has never been played.

But now I'm wondering if I should have put in the listing that it didn't have any cellophane wrapping on it when I bought it, in case the buyer is expecting it to have some, and I've just noticed a couple of tiny dents in the back of the box. Neither of these things have any bearing on the fact that it is a brand new game, but since the FB changes, people are getting nasty for no reason. I really don't want to get a negative because of this.

I don't think you can edit anything within 12 hours of the auction ending. once it has bids I think you can only add info.

do you have bidders on it?

Tidey · 07/11/2008 13:32

I can't see anywhere that lets you add info either though.

Yes, it has one bid and four watchers.

can you amend the listing?

or withdraw it from sale, & relist it in a couple of weeks

depends if you have any bidders, i think

You cant change within 12 hours of it ending or if there are any bids...otherwise you could bid on a Ford Focus, and then the seller could change it to Ford Escort..IYSWIM?

I've just tried the 'end item immediately' thing and it won't let me because it has a bid and less than 12 hours left. I think I'll just have to hope that the buyer isn't one of the many piss-takers that seem to frequent eBay nowadays.

Thanks for your help anyway.

Can you swap the box for another newer looking box? Take insert out and put in another

Flier · 07/11/2008 13:41

let it go and email the buyer immediatley explaining everything, (I think) if they aren't happy you can both mutually withdraw

Tidey · 07/11/2008 13:45

soremummy, thank you! I just checked and the other game I have (which I'm not selling) has a much tidier case, and I don't care if mine has dents in it. Swapped now. Why on earth didn't I think of that? [daft moo me emoticon]
