Editing an eBay listing after promotion.

You should be charged at the promotional fee. Lots of sellers set up 'holding' listings and then edit later.

I believe changing the category will cause you to lose the promotional offer so you will have to pay full fees.

The only thing that I am aware of that you shouldn't change is the quantity. The terms state it needs to be a single item listing to qualify for 80% FVF fees. Other than that I think you should be fine but probably worth having a read of the terms for any other caveats.

I edit my listings and don't lose the promotional offer; in fact, I sometimes add some dummy listings in case I forget listing something or a buyer backs out. Just remember to remove the unsold listings on day 29 as they will automatically renew on day 30 with the full fee.

Thanks for the replies

Perhaps it's a case of if you change the sub category it retains the promotion but if you change the main category you lose the promotion.

I don't have personal experience of this but am going off of comments from several users on here who made comments on the eBay promotional deals - this was about 2/3 years ago - apparently, eBay had cottoned on to people creating fake listings during promotional fvf periods and then amending them later once the promotion ended.
