I think it would be nice to have an edit button, because right now if you want to change something you can only delete it.

I'm kinda out of luck at this point. :(I think an admin should be able to edit within an auction (I've never tried, so I'm not positive, I just assume I should be able to), so if something desperately needs to be changed, send me a message and I'll try to sort it out.

I guess it would be annoying if there were bids already on it, but I usually notice if i screw something up within 5 minutes of posting :P I guess there could be a comments section that you can add to the picture/people can comment with questions? Idk if anyone would use that though haha

SBs and ABs are not set in stone (as much as we'd all like them to), so IMO it doesn't really matter if someone changes the description anyway.I don't think there's ever been a time when I DIDN'T mess up and had to recreate the auction. XDBut that brings me to another idea - could the SBs and ABs actually be enforced? Having true, automated ABs would solve the problem of "overbidding", which isn't fair. ...and there would also be an option to have only one or neither.
