Does it mean I'm canceling the sale or does it mean I'm accepting the current bid?

End Item cancels all the bids i believe. Say, for example, you had the item listed in the paper also, and someone called and said "i wanna buy it", you end the item on ebay, so no one has bought it on ebay, so you can sell it to the paper guy.

That option means you are ending the auction early. You then have the option to sell it to the highest bidder or to cancel. If you cancel the bid an email is sent to the highest bidder letting them know about the cancellation.

It means you are ending the auction, then it gives you a choice to sell to the highest bidder or just to end without selling the item to anyone. If you choose the option not to sell you will have to select a reason why - the item is damaged, lost, or no longer for sale.

Contrary to popular belief this usage is not lazy or indecent nor is it as recent as many of you seem to think. At least as far back as the time of the American Revolution pls or plz was used in place of please in correspondence , again after the introduction of the telegraph, and most recently with the advent of text messaging, and all for the same reason, cost. During the early days of our country both paper and ink were expensive, so there were accepted methods of abbreviation to cram as much information into a letter as possible pls (or plz) was one example of this. When sending telegrams you were charged by the word (as in typing every 5 characters not actual words) so once again pls was used (among many other shortcuts u for you and so on) to make the sending of a message as cost effective as possible. As for text messaging, when first introduced, you may recall, we were charged per message we sent, so cutting letters out of messages meant a single text could be sent instead of two. It became a habit that carried over onto the internet, even though the need for the abbreviation no long exists,,,,to be fair though I am fairly sure you type OK or okay instead of Orl Korrekt which is the widely accepted original phrase the abbreviation came from, so can you really cast stones?

You except the current bid and end the auction now.

It would mean you're cancelling the auction.
