Default eBay requests to end auction early

Posted By: Dan Bretta

I have left money on the table by not taking someone's offer and have turned down offers in the past when they were obviously too low. I have also asked people to end auctions early on a few occasions and nobody has ever ended one early for me....in at least two of those cases I got the item for hundreds of dollars less than I offered. I almost contemplated offering a lady $300 for a Nebraska Indians cabinet on ebay a few weeks ago, but decided to let it run because it was listed in an obscure category with a horrible title. I got the cabinet for $60. I don't think any of this makes me unethical, I think it puts me on level ground with how the market on ebay works. I have at least one or two items per week in my watchlist that end early...you have to play the game.
