Best way to end an auction and stop it relisting if unsold

I have a couple of items that have not sold and eBay has automatically relisted them. 
As there are no bids is it fine to just cancel the auction?  I will then revise the listing and put it back on when there is a reduced fees offer.
Have I missed a setting to stop auctions automatically relisting?

    just do as you say. i am pretty sure all ebay auctions relist automatically now, but someone more experienced than me will confirm.

    I still have the choice when listing something as an auction  to remove the auto re listing , but I know it all depends on the eBay selling page that you have on your account. Obviously my BIN listings are all auto relist as they are all Gppd till cancelled now rather than just straight BINs.

    When I list there’s a box down amongst the start immediately, buy it now etc features which says relist automatically.   I notice if I relist from my phone app that’s always set to yes, not if I don’t from desktop
