First, you do know that a reserve price costs you at least $2 for each listing and it is non refundable.  Second, Most buyers do not like reserve price listings and will pass them by.

 

So, just revise the listings that do not have bids on them to reflect a price that you are willing to sell for.  Since you also have a buy it now price, the starting price must be at least 10% lower than the buy it now price.

 

Yes, you must sell to the highest bidder even if it is not the price you want.  Never start items at 99 cents.
