Selling an Xbox on ebay, been asked if I'll end the auction early for £60 and Im thinking about doing it but I can find anywhere where I can end the auction, Anyone know? Ive searched the ebay site and had no luck. Am I allowed to do it or not?

If you haven't had any bids I think you can do what the hell you want .

only end it when the cash is in your hand/paypal account

too many jokers do this then never pay

 

Thanks for thelink Dunk and thanks for the tip Freak. I'll let him know to pay me and I'll end the auction....

could do with the cash lol

 

Another question.I listed something that didnt sell.It says do i want to relist.How long do i have that option for?

 

Listing something at the minute. someones just placed a bid and my Buy it now option has disapearred, should it have done?

 

yep, if you receive a bid that meets your reserve price, the buy it now option dissapears

 

*****. Didnt know that... the guy has bid £20 for the item then said actually hes willing to pay the £90 for it (which was the buy it now price....) how'd I get him to buy it then without having to run through the whole rigmarole of running the auction for the whole week?

 

Dave, get them to send you the £90 payment, then cancel the auction once you've got it - if you just try and end it now it will only show as selling for the £20 and the buyer might try to mess you around.

 

thing is the buyer is in my home town..... and its a sticky situation which I cant go into.... firstly I dont want people knocking on my door for a start.

 

Tell them that you are a business and work from home, and for insurance reasons ( no public liability insurance ) you cant have personal callers turning up - offer to deliver it to them for free instead, with cash on delivery - I've done this in the past and its a lot easier than waiting in all night for some scally to turn up who never arrives.

You should be able to get a feel for the sort of buyer they are from their feedback - if you really dont want to deal with them at all, just cancel their bid and block them from the auction.

 

Even if there has been a bid you can still end the auction. You have to cancel their bid first.
