I'm not sure on that part. But I do know that if you are looking for a certain price for your item, I wouldn't start the bid no more than $10 less than what you would like. That way you don't lose that much if it doesn't get to where you want it.
I would email the help center of Ebay and see. I've actually lost money trying to sell on Ebay because my three coats wouldn't sell. So I stopped selling for a while.
Hope you find your answer. I do believe you have to sell it. You may be able to 'extend' your bidding. Check that part out. That way it can go for a longer period and may be you can get what you want for it.

If there are no bids, you can cancel the auction. You can also cancel the auction if there are bids under certain circumstances. Check the ebay "help" under sellers. If you check in my ebay, you can see the number of watchers, if there are several the price will usually go up at the end of the auction. Next time put a reserve price on the auction. It costs a little more but at least you will get what you want for the item.

You should have chosen a "reserve" price. If you have it set with no reserve, you are required to sell it to the highest bidder even if the price is lower than you wanted.
Next time, choose a minimum price so you will get the money that you want (if someone bids that is).
To take back a sale will cause trouble and you will probably get negative feedback. They can report you to eBay as well.

that's why you they have the option of setting a "reserve" price. What you can do is go ahead and end your bid early and not have to sell it giving the reason that the item is no longer for sale. Then, repost the item but this time be sure to set a reserve price. Good luck.

If you do not set a minimum requirement, yes, you have to sell the item at the winning bid. Once the bidding ends, the item is SOLD. If you do not send it out to the winning bidder, then you can get into some serious trouble.

Yes, unless you have set a reserve (minimum bid) for the item. You are entering into a contract with all potential bidders when you list an item, just as they are entering one when they bid.

if you put in a buy now price, you don't have to sell below that if you choose not to...but it's always a risk when you put something up for bid...people are looking for bargains on ebay and expect one...good luck!!!

Yes...that's why there is the option to have a "reserve" price....you say your reserve and know one knows it until they reach it and the bidding goes on from there? Didn't you read the rules?

Just go onto the Ebay site and take the 'How do I sell' tour. This will explain all!

Yes, unless you put a reserve on it - then if the bid doesn't meet your reserve amount it's not sold.
