Editing Items
Any item record that has been created in the past can be edited. There are several ways items can be edited. They can be edited one at a time in the edit window, or in bulk using the Batch Change or Batch Edit features. Batch Change is fast and requires only information about which fields to change and what values to change them to. Batch Edit provides the ability to see and interact with multiple items and fields at once.
- Open the Sell Items mode. How?How?
- Select the item(s) from the grid that are to be edited. How?How?
- From the ribbon bar, click the Edit button.
- Make any desired changes, then click Save and Exit.
To change multiple items in a batch:
- Open the Sell Items mode. How?How?
- From the grid, select the items that will be revised.
- From the Modify tab on the ribbon bar, click the arrow under the Edit button and choose Batch Change.
- If a similar batch change has been saved as a Batch Change Definition in the past, it can be used as a starting point. Choose it from the Batch Change Definition dropdown near the top of the window.
- To make changes to any item or listing field, select the Item Fields tab.
- In the first Field Name dropdown on the left, select the field to be changed.
- In the Action dropdown just to the right of the field dropdown, choose the action that will be performed. The following actions are allowed.

Use the Undo Percent Increase of 10% to return the $110 price back to $100. |
