Choosing the right editing tool |
Located right inside My eBay, this functionality is easy to use and allows you to revise multiple listing fields such as item condition, price and quantity on up to 500 items at once.
To edit live listings using the bulk functionality, simply follow these steps:
- Click "My eBay" at the top of any eBay page. You may be asked to sign in.
- In the left column, click Sell.
- Check the box beside the listings you want to edit.
- Click the "Edit" button.
- Your listings will appear in a spreadsheet-type form on the screen. You can edit your listings individually by clicking in the boxes you want to change (such as title or price) and editing the information right there.
- You can bulk revise up to 500 listings at a time. Check the boxes beside the listings you want to edit, then click on the "Edit" drop-down menu to see a list of fields you can change. Make your changes in the pop-up window that appears.
- You can see how a listing will appear on the site by clicking on the magnifying glass icon on the right side of the spreadsheet.
- When you're done, click "Submit all" at the bottom of the page. Then click "Confirm and submit" in the pop-up window or cancel to go back. (You'll be able to see if you incurred any new fees on this pop-up as well.)

- The return time frame. Beginning early next year, the 3- and 7-day return windows will be retired, so consider choosing 14 days, 30 days or 60 days instead.
- How the refund will be given. Beginning in August, you can specify "Money back or exchange" as a refund method.
- Who pays for return shipping. Consider whether you want to pay for return shipping at least for items that are different from what was described in the listing.
- When you're done, click "Submit all" at the bottom of the page. Then click "Confirm and submit" in the pop-up window or cancel to go back. You'll be able to see if you incurred any new fees on this pop-up as well.
