Can't add a reserve price

[thepaulkennedy]

Hi

I just listed an item on eBay. I can't see anywhere to add a reserve price.

It also kept changing my Allow offers to a lower amount than I was entering so I had to keep revising my listing and then just ended up turning off Allow offers and have had to set my starting bid to the lowest price I would accept for the item which is going to make it less likely people will start making bids as it's high.
Any help appreciated. Couldn't find this issue - no option to add a reserve price or why it keeps lowering my Allow offers amount - in other posts. Just that eBay kept turns on Allow Offers.

It's ok. I found another post that answered this. Only things like boats and cars can have reserve prices so I set the starting bid to the lowest amount I'd accept for the item. Hopefully that's the way to do it.

Auctions cannot have reserves, the starting price is your reserve.

It is up to you, as long as you know it may only get one bid, and you have taken the fees into account
