if someone asks some awkward questions and catch you out, you could be reported to ebay for being naughty!

Are you sure you have to let auctions run to the end ? - I can't find anything that says it is against ebay rules to end your listing early ?
Not that I would dream of doing so of course :oops:
jjsaul:
unless it is genuinely advertised elsewhere...rarely lol

Hi,
According to Ebay rules, sellers can end an item early (the standard 'reason' is 'The item is no longer available for sale') except when there are 12 hours or less remaining and the item has a winning bid, including a reserve met bid.
They also note: "Sellers are not permitted to cancel bids and end listings early in order to avoid selling an item that did not meet the desired sale price. This is considered to be reserve fee circumvention. Although there are legitimate reasons for ending a listing early, abuse of this option will be investigated."
...though I can't see how they can distinuish between a valid cancellation and 'abuse of the option' :?
floyd fan:
I always put the advertised elsewhere clause as I usually put my stuff on here and will take it of ebay if someone wants it. Done it with an injector pump a couple of weeks ago. However I use it in genuine cases only as I start my bids at the very lowest I am willing to take for an item, cant see the point in starting at 99p for something that I want £100 for.
strapping young lad:
true, i always have a minimum bid for something that if it came down to it i wouldnt lose sleep if the min bid won.
also the post needs to be realistic, as some people think that something small wont cost much to send but they forget how much jiffy bags cost, how much post costs (which have gone up recently) and also you need to get there too.
ive never had a whinge bout the post, and if they ask i arrange alternate means (sold something to norway before now cos they wanted it but my restrictions on uk only meant they couldnt have it.. it didnt sell so i sold to this guy plus the correct post price) after all you dont want to put people off :)
one thing that does annoy me is the 99p buy now and a HUGE post cost!
