Find & Revise is a powerful feature that helps you find items meeting certain criteria and make the appropriate revisions to those items at once. Although this manual way of revising items is both time-efficient and easy, note that Find & Revise can quickly revise hundreds of items at once. For this reason, there is a built in feature that allows you to review your revisions before submitting them to eBay.
Once your revisions are submitted to eBay, their status is always visible on the Revise Active Listings page as described in the Monitoring the Status of Your Revisions section.
In the left navigation bar, click the Vendio Reviser tab, then click on 'Revise Listings'. Click the 'Find & Revise' button to open up your Find & Revise options. The first step is to tell Find & Revise if it should revise items meeting all of your revise conditions, or items that meet any of your revise conditions. Selecting 'All' from the first dropdown menu means Auto-Revise will revise ONLY items meeting ALL your revise conditions (assuming you have set up more than one). Selecting 'Any' from the dropdown menu ensures that Auto-Revise will revise items meeting ANY of your revise conditions (even if it's just one).
The next step is to set up your revise conditions (maximum of four) by selecting them from the dropdown menus. Notice that you can add more revise conditions if necessary by clicking the 'add another condition' link. See below to learn about each revise condition and what they mean.

Once you finish setting your revise actions, click the 'Preview' button. All the items that meet your selection criteria will appear on the following page, along with both the revise conditions and revise actions you have specified. Make sure that you thoroughly review both the items selected and the revisions set to take place before you click the 'Revise' button. Once this action is taken, your revisions will be submitted to eBay immediately.
The Find & Revise criteria set up in the illustration above means that Find & Revise will:
- Find items that are an eBay auction.
- Find items that have no bids.
Once we click the 'Revise' button, Find & Revise will instantly decrease the reserve price for items meeting our revision conditions by 10%. Because the Find & Revise feature can quickly revise hundreds of items at once, we recommend that you always click the 'Preview' button first to review your revisions before submitting them to eBay.
