This is probably well known to everyone but I cant seem to find where on the entry form for selling an item is the bit where you set a reserve price. Its the first time I have tried to do this and I just cant find it, can some knowledgable person assist me please

Don't forget as well that it costs extra to have a reserve and the minimum reserve is now £50.

Thank you for your replies, I have checked again and there is nothing there, Just the starting price. I emailed ebay and got a totally stupid reply answering a completely different question. Have they changed the formats for selling or what. I can give a starting price but I want to put a reserve price.0

Are you creating a listing selling multiple items on one auction, you cant put a reserve on those.0

no just single items. I think I have sussed it out now. It looks like I change the format from fixed price auction to reserve. I have to do that each time. I tried saving it but it dos'nt. My sons ebay site is different. He's had it longer and its a different format I thought they were all the same.0

Ahh, that explains it. You can't have a reserve on a fixed price auction only on a straight auction. Fixed price means that someone can just buy at the price set, so no reserve needed at all.
