can I sell an item without an auction?how do I get the price I want?

Hi

 

I'm very new to selling via auction and as I am time poor with work I'm asking here...

 

I am selling an item which I believe is worth $300 minimum I'm not familiar with auctions so the highest bidder is at $110!

 

As the seller, what rights do I have here on ebay to NOT sell the item for such a cheap price please?

I'm still worried though because OP is after a minimum of $300 but when the fees get taken out will they still be happy?

Or if the buyer pays with PayPal and they get the 21 day hold on funds will they still be happy?

 

 

That bidder is still waiting for the item to arrive lol

Indeed ,the 21 day hold on funds in PayPal might be a ruder shock as it is to so many

I still think because OP never ended the listing the first time round like tippy said will also have to pay fees and even have a case opened against them when the winning bidder doesn't get the item if they have paid for it?

Please OP if you come back to this thread can you update us with some answers to our questions ( I won't hold my breath )

The sad thing is, the OP should have accepted the $162 for the first auction, or waited to see what happened with the second. Amps are worth bugga all these days. I'd be very surprised if she gets the $310 she's asking at a BIN. Even for quality stuff, people just aren't willing to pay much. Very few have "music rooms" in their houses now. Everyone is too busy pumping Spotify through ear buds from their phone. That has resulted in a lot less demand, and a much lower price for items like that.

Am I able to remove the listing it's got 5 days to go

Appears you have listed as BIN.

If you haven't done a formal cancellation in eBay on the first auction you will be charged fees for that sale.

Have a look in account at your next fees.
