Advertised Elsewhere

Sorry if this has been asked before,

Can anyone tell me how you can list something on Ebay and state "right to withdraw as advertised elsewhere"


Thanks

  • Just put "right to withdraw as advertised elsewhere" in the item description.

    Is this allowed? In effect, you can use it to set a free reserve price.
    Time is an illusion - lunch time doubly so.
  • I'm not sure what Ebay's policy states about this but as long as the auction is withdrawn and not let run to the end there is not a lot they can do as you can always say that the item is lost or broken.

    You see this quite often especially on items which are difficult to ship. I don't do this on sale items and I will not bid on items marked in this way. You can easily withdraw an item as no longer available for sale and I have done this from time to time were I have discovered defects in the item and cannot modify the description to match the item.
