Withdrawing an item for sale

How do I go about doing this? Can't seem to find anything on eBay help, there hasn't been any bids yet but there is a watcher, if I remove the item what are the implications?
2p off is still 2p off!

    It took me several months to find out how to do this. Do a search on ebay help for ending item early. There is a hidden form you fill out with the item number and then it closes it. You can give a reason for it.

    No implications if you havent got any current bidders.

    go to home page (ebay of course) and click on help. then in top left corner click on A-Z index. then click on E. scroll down and click on ENDING YOUR LISTING EARLY and just follow the instructions from there.
    hope this helps.
    cheers

    To end an item go to your My eBay Page. Under Items I'm Selling at the right hand side it probably says Sell Similar. Click on the small arrow in the box next to it and then you can

    Sell Similar
    Revise
    Add To Description
    End Item
    Edit Promotions

    You can end the item at any time. Even if bids have been placed - in which case you can sell to the highest bidder at that time or cancel all bids and end the auction.
    Smile and be happy, things can usually get worse!
