Reasons for ending listings early include:
- The item is no longer available for sale.
- There was an error in the starting price or reserve amount.
- There was an error in the listing.
- The item was lost or broken.
Note: Your account will still be charged listing fees if you end your listing early. Consider revising your listing first if there are aspects of it you want to change or improve.
Timing Matters
When there are 12 hours or less remaining and the item has a winning bid, including a reserve met bid, sellers cannot make any changes to the listing, including:
- Ending the item early. Sellers may cancel bids, but not end the item unless the item is being sold to the high bidder.
- Adding to or changing the item description.
Converting the item to pre-approved bidders.
Note: Canceling bids or making changes to a listing with bids when there are 12 hours or less remaining, can damage the buyer experience and can undermine trust in the marketplace.
To end your listing early
Login to your members area, locate the listing you wish to end early and click the "end listing early" link.
If there are bids on your item, choose between:
a. Cancel bids and end listing early or
or
b. Sell item to high bidder(s) and end listing early
Note: Sellers are not permitted to cancel bids and end listings early in order to avoid selling an item that did not meet the desired sale price. This is considered to be reserve fee circumvention. Although there are legitimate reasons for ending a listing early, abuse of this option will be investigated.
