Edit a Listing

Overview

Once a listing is live, you may need to update the price, adjust stock levels, or correct a detail. PHP Pro Bid allows sellers to edit open listings, but with restrictions that depend on the listing type and whether it has any activity (bids or offers).

Your Listings

To manage your listings, go to Members Area → Selling → Listings. This page shows all your listings with filters for type (Auctions, Products, Classifieds) and status (Open, Closed, etc.).

PHP Pro Bid — Seller Listings page showing listing table with ID, title, price, type, status, and action buttons for edit, close, and delete

Each listing has action buttons on the right:

Edit — open the listing form to make changes
Close — end the listing early
Delete — remove the listing from the site

Click the Edit button to open the same form used when creating the listing. The sections — Listing Basics, Content & Media, Pricing, Delivery & Returns, Payment, and Publishing — are all accessible, but some fields may be locked depending on the rules below.

Editing Auctions

Auction listings can only be edited when both of the following are true:

The auction has no activity — no bids and no offers have been placed
The remaining duration is above the administrator’s minimum edit time limit

Once a bid or offer is placed on an auction, the listing is locked and cannot be edited. This protects bidders from having the terms of the auction changed after they have committed.

If you need to make significant changes to an auction that already has bids, you will need to close the listing and create a new one.

Editing Products

Product (fixed price) listings have more flexibility. Even with existing activity, sellers can still edit:

Currency
Quantity / Stock Levels
Price
Make Offer settings — enable/disable offers, adjust minimum and maximum offer ranges

This allows sellers to update pricing and restock items without having to close and recreate the listing.

Fields That Cannot Be Changed

Regardless of listing type or activity, the following fields are permanently locked once the listing is published:

Title
Description
Images

If you need to change the title, description, or images, close the listing and use List Similar from the confirmation page to create a new listing pre-filled with the original details.
