Ebay is so quiet this weekend can I...

withdraw 3 of my auctions even though they have bids. I wouldn't normally consider this but it is extremely quiet and I have a few items on sale, 3 of which I don't realy want to sell so cheaply. I know it is my own fault for not putting a reserve on but if I cancel the bids and end the listing will I get a negative.
Please be kind I'm new to selling on ebay.
Thanks, Flo

    Hi if I was bidding on something that was then withdrawn I would leave a negative. A lot of bidding is done last minute anyway so you might be alright.

    You should only cancel autions for legitimate reasons. You can end auction early with cancelling all the bids and no one is able to leave you feedback when you do this. You will still however incur eBay charges for those items.

    You can't leave feedback, negative or otherwise, unless you've won the item. Just because you bid and got cheesed off when the auction was withdrawn, you're not able to leave a neg.

    Thanks for replies, am I right in that I have to do this 12 hours before the auction ends?

    The weekend has only started...why not give it a chance? If I were a buyer I would be very hacked off! You really should think about when you are going to list before listing.

    I personally am going to be searching ebay 2pm onwards, Im banking on the competition being engrossed in that 'football thing' that is happening today :D might get a bargain
  • Wife did get a bargain today. It must be a girl thing but she got a Mulberry Darwin Handbag. She's been drooling over them for months, cost her £100, normally retail about £600. All genuine with proof of purchase and tags intact.

    I however have found nothing!

    What sort of handbag did you want?

    (just kidding :))
  • Moglex,

    I was loking for something small and practical that would match the riggers and overalls when I go on site!! :0) Thought one would be handy for carrying all me tools in!

    Something by Snap On or Britool perhaps in Red leather?
