You can end the auction anytime up until the end, but once the auction is over, you have committed to sell the item! Just as a buyer has committed to buy the item for the top bid price, you have committed to sell it!
If you did not want to sell it for under a certain amount, you could have set a reserve price, or you could have set the starting bid at the lowest price you would accept!
If the auction is over, you have sold the item. As soon as you have received payment, you need to ship it! If it sold for less than you wanted, you have learned an expensive lesson!

I don't know if I can help you out this time, but apparently there is a 'reserve price' you can set. Where if the bids don't reach that price, you don't have to sell it.
It also seems like there is something where you can cancel bids when you go to view your item in My eBay. I've never done that though so I'm not sure, and I'm not as familiar with their new beta site thing they have going on.

Some people pull their items. It is risky...you have to refund the money and they could report you and get you thrown off ebay, I suppose.
Ebay is like that....you have to agree to sell it at a low price if nobody bids any higher. You can protect yourself with minimum requirements. They get a note that says "sorry you have not bid up to the minimum level" or something like that.

That's what a reserve price is for. If you don't set a reserve, or minimun, sale price you're stuck with whatever the highest bid is.
You do have one out, if you want to stoop to lying. Contact the winner and tell them that you accidently dropped the item on your way to the post office, and you broke it. They won't want a broken item, and as long as you return their payment you should get an okay feedback. You will lose money to the ebay and paypal fees, though.

no but when you place an item for sale you can put a reserve price so that you can get how much you want for the item. if the bid ends and you dont send it you will get a seller strike which will scare off anyone who wants any of the items you put up for sale later on for fear that you will not send them the item.

No you can't. Right when the first bid is established it's sold. Contact the winning bidder and work something out.

Nope, you have entered into a contract, just like the bidder. You really would receive negative feedback for not coming through with your part of the deal.

You better hurry up and email the buyer and tell them that you can't sell it. Usually, people pay for it with PayPal almost as soon as the item is won, or at least within a day.
Tell them that you goofed up in the listing, or it's broke.
IT's not good to do this though.

It sounds like you're asking if you have to ship the item after it ends to the winning bidder.
Yes, you have to ship it. According to ebay rules anyway.
If you don't I believe the can suspend your selling privileges.
Personally, I hate selling on ebay, there's way too many fees involved. You should try selling on craigslist.org, it's all free and it's all local.
