    If you opened a full NPB you can close it after it has been opened a full 4 days. So close it on the 3rd- read the case though and make sure you have allowed enough time to elapse so that you get the transaction cancelled and your FVFs back. ONly when the case has been successfully closed can you re list.

    Incidentally, using a start price, a reserve and a BIN is a hugely expensive way of selling- you won't get any relist credit at all for your upgrades- and that reserve and BIN will have cost you a great deal of money. From memory, as I don't use reserves, that reserve alone will have cost you £9 listing fees that you will not get back. Just list as a BIN with best offer (and set up immediate payment required) (that will be 35p as a private seller) or start the auction at the lowest price you will accept- and if you use your free listings that won't cost you anything

    If you want to be safe against problems then yes - but take a closer look at your buyer, do they look OK or is there anything that makes you think they are not going to bother paying?

    If you did sell it before cancelling the previous sale then your current buyer could still pay and expect the phone- and you could be left with 2 lots of FVFs to pay.

    You really don't want to be running up more of a bill- you've already got a hefty listing fee to be paid.

    Unfortunately what you say doesn't trump what eBay say.

    You need to follow the procedure, it's only a couple of days extra.

    I have already answered that question.

    If you are not reading the responses can I please ask you to go back and read what has been said- in particular the fact that you already have substantial fees to pay to ebay for your listing

    One other point- if buyer pays and you refund him then you also will have an additional £21 of ebay fees to pay.
