What are you trying to change? It is very difficult to answer a question when there is no question.

 

Editing is simple enough, ebay would only prevent editing if something broke the rules.

You won't be able to revise it if you have bids or have had any offers.   But you should be able to add to the description.  It will in a separate box below the original one.

If there is less than 12 hours to run on an auction or there are bids , you cannot revise anything on the auction.

 

Nothing controlling,  just that those are the rules.

Is it an item with less than 12 hours to go?

There are some parts of a listing you can't revise but all the details are here:

Have you sent offers out to the watchers?

If you have offers pending, you can't make changes.

You have a few auctions with les than 12 hours to run,  if it's one of those, you cannot with that time remaining,  revise the auction.

I think it is 96 hours (4 days) now although all of the information on Ebay still says 24 hours.  It changed fairly recently.

So, you can't change listings until offers expire.
