Quick question for people who use Ebay often - Is ending an auction early ( after receiving a decent offer ) acceptable or twattish behaviour ?
Have something on for sale at the moment ( been on less than 10 hours ) and have had 2 requests asking what price I would accept to end the auction early .
Not sold lots on Ebay , but the last item I did sell i ended the auction early . A previous time . I was asked to , but didn't , and lost a fair bit of money because I didn't !
I wouldn't hesitate in ending it.
If it's a highish value item I sometimes set a reserve, and put that once reserve is met I won't end it, this gives people confidence to bid.
I never end an auction before the money is in my hand.
At the end of the day you have a price, ending also saves you a FVF as well.
But beware, you can't end an auction when there's less than 12 hours left I think, so don't leave it too late !!!
