/Ebay selling problem - what should I do?

[paul]

I just listed a pre-war card on ebay a few minutes ago and realized I did not click the "Pre-War" box when I listed it. So now, if people do a search for only pre-war cards (like I usually do), they won't find it. Ebay will not let me check the box now because the auction already has bids.

I am tempted to end the auction and start over. But bidding is already over $100, with a $1 minimum bid, and the auction has been live for only a few minutes. Should I send the bidders an apology and start the auction over? Or should I just let it run? What would you do? Thanks.

I'd let it ride. Other bidders obviously found it pretty quickly. Item Specifics are over-rated IMO. If it's a card or from a set that's heavily collected already, the right people will find it in one or another of their searches.

Thank you. So you think it's unusual for someone to scroll through all the pre-war listings?

I can only tell you that I try to narrow down my search to specific sets or players.

I agree with the others. I almost never search a genre, just for that reason. I can't tell you how many cards I've purchased that were in the wrong sport or not even listed in cards at all. My searches are set up to find things no matter where they are. I'll bet your items will be found just fine.

The days of finding items in the wrong category has sailed. You'll do fine

Honestly never done that once in 20 years on ebay. To much time and useless items.
