Revise a live listing

Your edits stay in GridX Connect until you push them to eBay with Revise. Learn how to revise one listing or many, and where 'Needs revision' shows up.

When you edit a part that is already live on eBay, your changes are saved on the part but the eBay listing keeps its old details until you push them. That push is called Revise. The listing is marked as needing revision until you do it, and your edits sit waiting with no time limit. You can revise one part, or select many and revise them together.

Revise only ever applies to a listing that is already live. If a part was never published, you publish it; if its listing has ended, you republish it. Revise is not a way to fix a failed publish either — a failed publish never went live, so you retry it instead.

> [!WARNING] > Editing a part never changes your eBay listing on its own. Every edit — including saving fitments, changing photos, running PartSnap, bulk editing, and bulk repricing — waits until you Revise. Only a field edit followed by Save prompts you afterwards; the rest mark the listing quietly, so it is easy to leave changes unpushed.

Before you start

The part is live on eBay already — revise applies only to an existing listing.
Your eBay account is still connected.
You are a company admin. The Revise controls appear only for admins, the same as publishing. Staff can edit parts but cannot push those edits to eBay.

What marks a listing as needing revision

Any of these leave a live listing waiting for a push. Only the first prompts you at the time — the rest change the part without a prompt, so check for them later:

Editing a field and pressing Save on a live part (this is the one that prompts you).
Saving fitments — you get a Fitments saved message and nothing else.
Adding, removing, or reordering photos.
Running or removing PartSnap.
A bulk Edit, or a bulk Shipping policy update.
Bulk repricing — the toast says Active eBay listings flagged for revision.
The Excel Bulk Update flow when you leave its sync box unticked — the receipt then reports Flagged in Needs Revision.

Steps

Edit the part and press Save. If it is live, a prompt opens by itself, headed Changes saved locally.
Read the change preview. Each changed field shows on its own row: the current eBay value struck through in red, an arrow, then your new value in green. For eBay UK and eBay Germany the window does not list the fields. It asks, for example, Push updates to your live eBay UK listing?
On a multi-marketplace account, pick the marketplace in the Marketplace list. Switching re-checks that marketplace.
Press Update eBay to push now, or Not Now to leave it. If you sell on more than one marketplace, the button names it, for example Update eBay UK. Not Now is safe: your edits are already saved on the part, and only the push is waiting.
To come back to it later, open the part and find the marketplace row with the amber Needs revision label. Press the Revise icon (two curved arrows) on that row. The same window opens.
Watch the result. On eBay US the push is immediate and there is no success message. The window closes and the row's label changes from Needs revision to Live, and that change is your confirmation. On eBay UK and eBay Germany you get Revising on eBay… and it runs in the header activity bar.

> [!NOTE] > The Revise icon opens the Changes saved locally window first, so you can check before anything is sent. Nothing goes to eBay until you press Update eBay.

If nothing actually differs between the part and the live listing, the prompt tells you eBay listing is already in sync. In that case the Update eBay button is removed and Not Now is your only option — you cannot force a push when there is nothing to send.

Revising many at once

Tick the parts in Inventory and press the amber Revise in the bulk toolbar (company admins only). A Revise listings window opens and checks your selection. It says how many of the selected parts have changes waiting, and each marketplace has its own row: 12 to revise, Up to date, Ended or Not listed. Parts that are not live, and live parts with nothing waiting, are skipped for you, so you do not need to filter the list first. Untick a marketplace to leave it out, then press Revise 12 listings to start.

Progress for a bulk revise appears only in the header activity bar — there is no on-page banner — reading for example eBay US Revise: 45 listings, then eBay Revise: 12/45 (11 ok, 1 failed), and settling at eBay Revise: 42 revised, 3 failed. You can navigate away or refresh and it carries on. A clean run shows no pop-up; the activity line is your only confirmation, and the warning markers clear from the parts that went through. A Revise Completed modal opens only if something failed, listing each failed part with eBay's error. Bulk revise shows a count, never which fields will change — to see the fields, revise that part on its own.

A quicker route: click the amber Needs update chip in the attention bar above the list, then its Revise button. It gathers every part with unpushed edits and opens the same Revise listings window.

Where revision shows up

The same "live, with edits not yet pushed" state is worded differently across surfaces, so look in the right place:

| Where you look | What it says | |---|---| | Inventory row (single channel) | Published ⚠ — live, with edits never pushed. | | The part's page | An amber Needs revision label on the marketplace's row, with a Revise icon. | | The row's Channels pop-up (more than one marketplace) | Revise beside each marketplace that has unpushed edits, with a Revise icon that opens the part. | | Attention bar chip | Needs update, a live count of every part waiting, with a Revise button. | | Filters | The Revision filter cycles through Needs Revision and In Sync. |

Nothing outside Inventory tells you that parts are waiting — there is no notification, header badge, or dashboard count — so the Needs update chip is the reliable way to catch edits that changed the part quietly.

If something goes wrong

eBay rejected a revise. On eBay US the window switches to Update failed and shows eBay's own message. On eBay UK and eBay Germany the window has already closed, so a failure shows in the header activity bar, and a Revise Completed window lists eBay's error. On the part's page the marketplace row keeps its Needs revision label so you can return to it, and if eBay gave a reason it shows in red underneath. Fix the field eBay names on the part, then press Retry Update in the window, or the Revise icon on the row. A retry re-sends the part as it stands now, and nothing retries on its own, so correct the part first or it fails again.

"eBay listing is already in sync." Nothing differs between your part and the live listing, so there is nothing to push. Press Not Now — the Update button is removed on purpose.

The Revise window says "Everything is up to date". None of the parts you selected has changes waiting on any channel. Close it, then filter by Needs Revision or use the Needs update chip to gather only the parts that qualify.

The Revise window says "Too many parts selected". Revise can check up to 5,000 ticked parts at a time. Select fewer parts, or clear the filters and use Select all N items in inventory to revise everything waiting.

I edited fitments or photos and eBay did not change. Those edits do not prompt you — they mark the listing quietly. Open the part and press Revise, or catch them with the Needs update chip.

"Revise" in the row menu only opened the part. The Revise item in a row's ⋮ menu opens the part's page. It does not send anything. Press the Revise icon there, on the row with the amber Needs revision label.

It says the listing is not live / has ended. Revise applies only to a live listing. If the part was never published, publish it first; if the listing ended or was removed on eBay, republish it instead of revising. A Sold out listing cannot be revised either. Add stock and republish it.

Your eBay connection has stopped working. If a push reports a connection problem, reconnect eBay on the Channels page, then revise again.
