Why, don't you want to make more money?

 

What about the other people that may be waiting for the last minutes of the listing to bid? Lots of folks like to bid in the last seconds.

 

Why don't you want to make more money?

Yes, you can end and sell to the current high bidder.

 

Go to your My Ebay>active listings (open item you want to sell)>end item. It will then ask you if you want to sell to the high bidder.

 

That will do it. If you need more help, just ask

You have approximately 3 days left on your listings. Why not let them continue and you may get more bidders, which will increase the selling price.


There will be an answer, Let It Be.

End Auction Early and Sell to High Bid ----

 

eBay considers the "High Bid" to be the currently "showing bid", not the bidder's maximum bid.

If that is the item that you have good bids on and has a couple of more days to run, don't cancel it. Let it run to the end. Most bids come in the last few minutes. If someone is asking you to sell to them now, they are just trying to get a better deal.

 

It is against ebay policy for someone to make an offer on your auction if it doesn't have a Best Offer on it.

Yikes, I'd say 'Let It Ride'......Sometimes, there's a Bid War at the very last few seconds......

 

Everyone above me, agrees....Don't cut your sale short!
