Urgent help with removing reserve!!!

bootman

Please can an ebay expert help me!

I have listed an item due to end in a couple of hours. I set a reserve of £50 which is the minimum you can.

I want to take it off as the highest bid stands at £40 which I would actually be happy with.

The help section says you can remove a reserve at any time.

It wont let me. You have to put a new reserve price in £1 more than the highest bid. But because I would be entering £41 its keeps saying not allowed as minimum reserve is £50.

Am I doing something wrong.

I did send an enquiry to ebay first thing this morning but they have not replied:mad:

I wouldn't have thought you can remove anything from an auction in the last few hours. Usually to add/remove anything from an auction there has to be 12+ hours left.

see point 2 b) - you can end your auction early to sell at the then current price.

I think that if it doesn't sell at the reserve price, you can offer it to the highest bidder at the price they bid to.

The minimum reserve is indeed £50. If you think this is unreasonable, you're not alone - there's a petition going to get it changed.
