You do realise that it is against ebay policy to list items that are advertised for sale elsewhere don''t you? Probably not a good idea to come to the boards announcing that you are happy to breach ebay's rules.
It says in this book I am reading that by 2065 80% of women will be overweight.
See what a trendsetter I am?

didn't eBay drop that policy long ago ???
as I understand it, such exclusivity of selling wares, is actually in opposition to Australian consumer law in the context of eBays role as a service provider
lol makes me chuckle given suppliers such as Target Good Guys etc sell their wares on multiple channels and from multiple outlets, and can be fully stocked one minute and out of stock the next

so no policy breach and no restrictions on listing elsewhere, but listing fee may be charged depending on frequency of ending auctionearly.

No fee if there's no bids.
OP has had no bids (and I'm not surprised)

My post related to claim that it was a policy breach to list a sellers goods elsewhere.
I imagine that the OP upped their price as they did not know how to end listing early.
Best for everyone that they did IMO.

I don't think they enforce the 'selling elsewhere' anymore
There was a thread about it, last year I think, and no-one could find the policy
It was decided (here) that the policy no longer exists, if it couldn't be found

I think you can end 1 with bids but after that they threaten to charge you the fvf. Not sure if they actually do or not as I've only ended one with bids that I didn't sell to the highest bidder (major errors so I sent the bidder a message explaining and they rebid after I relisted). I had a warning come up basically telling me not to make a habit of it or else.
