Help! Can i add a reserve price to my listing?

Mumstheword

My friend has just listed an item. It's her first listing, and she's either missed the reserve price part, or wasnt offered it.


Can ahe add a reserve price after the listing has already gone on?

If not, can she cancel this auctiona nd start again?


Could any replies be directed to a real novice, pls? Thanks!!


TIA,

If there are bids you won't be able to change it... in fact I'm not certain you can add a reserve after the listing has begun.

If in doubt, go here to cancel the item, and enter the auction number:

I wouldn't bother with a reserve but would just go for a minimum start price that is accepatble. As long as there are no bids I a pretty sure you can do that. Just go into the listing and change the start price.

Reserve price auctions must have a minimum reserve price of £50 and just annoy potential buyers. If I wanted to know the reserve and I could easly bid £500 cancel it and correct it to £50, thus revealing the reserve. Reserve prices are also relatively expensive especially if theydon't sell.

Best going for higher start price.

thankyou for your replies!

She has successfully altered the starting bid.

I told her we'd get the answer on MSE!!


Thanks,

There is a minimum on the reserve price which is now £50 ebay changed it last year.
