Change category of active listing

cabrio-nut — Mon, 17 Feb 2020 16:10:32 GMT

My active camera listing is in the lenses category, I can find no way of correcting this even with searches. How do I make a simple correction - or does ebay no longer permit this? I am a private occasional seller and buyer. Thanks for any help.

You don't have any active listings on this account. Assuming you're selling on a different ID, just revise/edit your listing from your selling page>active listings, and change the category

If it is in auction format you may not be able to revise once someone has placed a bid.

You have posted on the Australian boards, that may be why your listings are not visible to us in Australia.

To add, I've just checked on the UK site and you have 4 listings with 1 the Carl Zeiss camera listed under lenses.

As said, because it's an auction format and has a bid on it you may not be able to change the category without ending the listing and relisting.

If you do that you would have to cancel the bid THEN end the listing, but it would be a very good idea to let the bidder know what you're doing and why, so that they can rebid on the new listing.

Thanks for the info - I've no idea how I did that!

Thanks for the help, I have asked the seller to retract the bid so I can change the category, otherwise I will cancel and edit, or relist if I cannot edit. I will be more careful in future!

Just for info, I get to "Please enter another reason:" but there is nowhere to enter it. I give up on this one, life is too short!
