How to end an unsold item

If an item remains unsold, how do I end the sale? EBay realist it a few times, but what happens at the end of the last of those listings? Can I end it without having to pay?
thanks

    Select End Listing in drop-down menu next to item. No fees to pay

    You can end any listing, BIN or auction at any time without fees assuming there hasn’t been a bid. 

    As Sidj says , find the listing in your listed items and use the drop down box to choose end item.

    You don’t have to let EBay relist it automatically either.  While the listing is live there should be a setting you can switch off.

    An auction can be set for a single period however a BIN cannot. All BIN auctions are GTC good till cancelled.

  • Thanks, I’ve done it now, just wasn’t sure if I’d be charged at first. 
    As ever, everyone is very helpful. Many thanks 👍

    On my layout I can set auction for one single period.  On my husband's layout he has no choice to do this.  All auctions are for 8 times.  He can end them as soon as the 2nd period starts but if he is not around or forgets to do so then it continues.  There is no option to untick the "relist 8 times".
