selling at a fixed or reserve price

[guttin2]

Is there a simple way to list an item for sale with a fixed or reserved price, and allowing bids to be made. If the reserve is not reached the item is delisted.

Forget auctions.

You can't do what you are suggesting.

There's a simple way to list an item with a fixed price, but not for auction.

You won't get bids, you'll either sell it at your price or you won't.

What might suit you better is to think of what you hope to get for an item and list it at that price or slightly above. Not for auction, just for sale. You can then add 'Make an offer'.

That way, buyers who want it might make an offer and you can decide to accept or not, or you may even sell at advertised price.

I know it isn't the same as an auction but let's face it, you're just hoping an auction will take off and reach insane levels and unless it is a really rare piece, I doubt that happens so much on ebay any more.
