Many bids come at the last possible second. They are called snipers. The idea is that no one else will have a chance to outbid them.
You either start your listing at the least amount you are willing to sell it for or you set a reserve. Reserve auctions often don't sell. No one wants to play the guessing game. You can state the reserve in the listing if you wish and it might help a little, though few people bother to actually read the description these days.
eBay does not look favorably on sellers who cancel active listings. You will pay the final value fee on an auction that has bids if you cancel it. So be smart Set the opening bid at the lowest price you're willing to accept and you won't have this problem.
Once you have listed an item for sale, you cannot cancel it until the ending date.
It is best not to place a reserve. People just won't bother with your listing.
first you can set a reserve amount that the bids have to hit before you sell next yes you can end the auction early if need be
your dad is your father
if I try to sell something on Ebay and people bid on it, but it is for a lot less than the actual value of the item. Do I have to sell it or can I cancel it?
