Revise your item price


Important: Revising your item price can only be applied to listings with a reserve price in these eBay Motors categories: Passenger Vehicles, Motorcycles, Other Vehicles, and Powersports.
 
For information about lowering your reserve price other types of eBay listings (including eBay Motors parts categories), see Revising Your Listing.

Why revise your price?

Revising your price may increase your chances of selling your item. Certain eBay Motors categories provide additional flexibility to allow you to change your prices, even after your listing has received bids.

About revising your reserve price listing

You can:
  • Lower your reserve or Buy It Now price
  • Add a Buy It Now price
  • Remove the reserve price
  What is allowed What happens
Lowering your reserve or Buy It Now price You can lower the reserve or Buy It Now price any time before your reserve is met, or your listing ends. When a reserve or Buy It Now price is lowered, all bidders are notified by email. No information about the new price is revealed.
 
However, if you lower the reserve or Buy It Now price below the high bidder's maximum bid, the high bidder's maximum bid is lowered to $1.00 below the new reserve price. In this case, your new reserve price is sent to the high bidder by email. This allows the high bidder to confirm that they are still interested in the item.
 
If you lower the Buy It Now price below the reserve price, the reserve price is lowered to the same amount as the new Buy It Now price.
Adding a Buy It Now price You can add a Buy It Now price after a listing has received bids. The new Buy It Now price can be any amount above the current high bid.
 
This option only applies to reserve price listings that have not met the reserve price.
If the new Buy It Now price is below the reserve price, the reserve price is lowered to the same amount as the new Buy It Now price.
 
All bidders are notified by email that a Buy It Now price has been added.
Removing your reserve price You can remove the reserve price at any time during a listing. If you decide to remove the reserve, the reserve price is lowered to $1.00 above the current high bid.
 
This new reserve price is sent to the high bidder by email. This is done to confirm that the high bidder is still interested in the item.
 
The next bid that is placed will meet the reserve, and will remove the reserve price.
 
All bidders are notified by email that the reserve has been removed.
