Editing Listings
Modify draft and active eBay listings — title, description, price, shipping, returns, payment, and Promoted Listings — and push the changes back to eBay in one shot.
Overview
After creating a listing — whether it's a draft you've staged or a live eBay listing — you can edit any part of it: title, description, price, listing format, shipping, business policies, and Best Offer settings. Changes to active listings are pushed back to eBay in place via the Inventory API, so your watchers, view history, and item ID stay intact.
Where listings live
Every stage of the listing pipeline is a tab on the Cards page (the dedicated Listings page is gone):
- DRAFTS — listings you've staged but not yet published.
- ACTIVE — your live eBay listings.
- HISTORY — ended and sold listings.
Editing a Draft
Step 01
Open the Drafts tab
Go to the Cards page and switch to the DRAFTS tab. You'll see every draft you've staged, with title, planned price, and listing format.
Step 02
Open the draft editor
Click the row to open the draft editor modal. From here you can edit:
- Title — eBay title (80-character limit).
- Description — rich-text editor (TipTap WYSIWYG); the same content that gets published to the eBay description.
- Price, listing format (fixed price vs auction), auction settings (start, reserve, Buy It Now, duration), Best Offer thresholds, Promoted Listings ad rate.
- Shipping service and cost (or use your saved price-threshold rule).
- Business policies (fulfillment, payment, return).
Changes here only affect this draft. Save them and publish when you're ready.
Step 03
Publish from the Drafts tab
When you're happy with the draft, select it (or several drafts together) and use the bulk-publish action in the pinned toolbar to push them to eBay. The same publish guard runs as for cards published from AVAILABLE — flagged cards, lot conflicts, and per-card shipping previews surface before you confirm.
Editing an Active Listing
Step 01
Open the Active tab
Go to the Cards page → ACTIVE tab. Every live eBay listing is in the table. Use the search bar or filters to narrow down.
Step 02
Click Edit & push to eBay
Open the listing (or the card's detail page) and click Edit & push to eBay. The same editor that handles drafts opens — but in live mode, so saving pushes the changes through eBay's Inventory and Marketing APIs in one shot. Your eBay item ID, watchers, view counter, and sold-feedback links are preserved.
Step 03
Edit anything that needs to change
Every field on the listing is editable from one place:
- Title — eBay title (80-character limit).
- Description — rich-text WYSIWYG; legacy table-based descriptions are still rendered correctly while you edit.
- Price and quantity (for fixed-price listings).
- Best Offer — turn it on or off, and set auto-accept / auto-decline thresholds.
- Shipping policy, Payment policy, and Return policy — override the listing's policy with any policy you have configured on eBay. Leave empty to fall back to your account default.
- Promoted Listings — turn promotion on or off, or change the ad rate. Both directions are handled in-app: enabling adds the listing to your RocketVault campaign; disabling removes it. Promotion failures are surfaced as warnings so they never block a description or price change from going through.
Step 04
Save & push to eBay
Click Save & push to eBay. RocketVault validates the payload (title length, description size, format compatibility), then pushes the changes to eBay. You'll see a confirmation toast that names exactly which fields changed (e.g. "title + description + shipping"); any non-fatal Promoted Listings warnings appear alongside it. Changes typically appear on eBay within a few minutes.
What can't be edited after publish
eBay locks a few things once a listing goes live: the listing format (fixed-price vs. auction) is permanent, and auction-specific fields like the starting bid can't be tweaked after the first bid. RocketVault blocks those changes client-side with a clear message instead of letting eBay return a generic error.
Bulk refresh stale listings
If you're cleaning up a stack of old, low-engagement listings, the Refresh stale button in the inventory header runs a soft refresh on every listing that's gone 30 days with zero views — title rotation, item-specifics backfill, and a small price drop, all without touching the eBay item ID. See Refresh Stale Listings.
Filters on the Active and History tabs
Both tabs support:
- Status filters — built into the tab choice (Active, Drafts, History; History rolls up Ended + Sold).
- Source — listings created in RocketVault vs. ones imported from eBay.
- Date — by listing creation date.
- Search — free-text search across titles.
Re-Enriching with AI
If you've corrected card identification details (e.g., fixed the parallel or player name) and want RocketAI to regenerate the title and description, open the card detail page and trigger a republish. The republish flow regenerates the title and description from the card's current data — same engine that runs at first publish — so the new listing reflects the accurate metadata.
For lots, the lot builder runs the same auto-generation: edit the card list or metadata, and the title and description regenerate automatically when you save.
