Difficulty selling multiple items

peter021072

I can't see any option to delist.  I may have set a reserve, to avoid it selling for a penny, but haven't been charged anything yet. It's very difficult to find any details.  There's no option to revise or change anything. It seems to be forcing me to go through with continued re-listings. 

My mistake here is offering an auction because I think there's a 4% fee if it doesn't reach the reserve price.

Just to clarify , this was listed as an auction with a reserve? if so that's a shame as it is an expensive way of doing it, it's better to list either as a straight BIN or an auction with your start price being the minimum you will accept.

If you did set a reserve, and I'm not sure you have as the minimum reserve is £50, then you will pay 4% of that reserve price regardless of a sale or not.

If you just started it at the minimum you will accept then it should be easy to cancel and won't cost anything.. Just find the item in your active listings, go to the drop down menu on LH and choose 'end item'.

There seems to be no option to delist offered. Perhaps it's because its relisted again a few hours ago?

It seems that I've filled in the starting price, but not activated the reserve price.

I've never seen a listing that can't be deleted via the active listing page , I can only do mine from the active page though, and have definitely cancelled an auction within minutes of listing if I've made an error.

I can't delete from the listing itself or from the main page, only from active - I thought it was the same for everyone.

The process for delisting is supposed to be described here

There's an option for 'Active' not 'Active listings' in Step 3.  I get three options after step 3: 'Revise listing', 'Sell a similar item' or 'Create postage discounts'. There's no option for Step 4.

Step 1: Log into Your eBay Account

Start by logging into your eBay seller account. This can be done by navigating to eBay’s homepage and entering your username and password.

Step 2: Access Your Selling Dashboard

Once logged in, go to the My eBay section and click on Selling. This will bring you to your seller dashboard, where you can view all active listings. You can easily navigate through your active, sold, and unsold items here.

Step 3: Locate the Listing You Want to Remove

In your seller dashboard, under Active Listings, find the listing you want to end. You can scroll through or use the search function if you have many listings.

Step 4: Select the Option to End the Listing

Once you’ve located the item, click the More Actions dropdown menu next to the listing and select End My Listing Early.

Step 5: Choose a Reason for Ending the Listing

eBay will ask you why you’re removing the listing. You’ll be presented with several options such as:

The item is no longer available.

There was an error in the listing.

You decided not to sell the item.

The item was lost or broken.

Select the appropriate reason and proceed.

Step 6: Confirm the Removal

Once you’ve selected a reason, eBay will ask you to confirm your choice. Double-check to ensure you’re ending the correct listing, as this action can’t be undone. Once confirmed, the listing will be removed from eBay, and any potential buyers will no longer be able to view or purchase the item.

I eventually managed to de-list by typing how do I delist in ebay in Google, then following this link:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/selling/listings/creating-managing-listings/cancelling-listing?id=4146

It then gave me an option to do it.

I never found any way of doing it via the ebay seller hub.

I'm pleased you finally found a way of doing it.
