As an ebay seller can i end an auction that someone has placed a bid on?

Question

someone has made an offer and i said i would accept but just as i went to end acution someone bidded. can i still end the acution? if i do, do i have to sell it to the bidder? or does it end the auction compeltly and the bidder is notified that the item has ended

Answer 1

if it was one of those offers were it is way over the price, and they say send it and it's out of the country, dont do it, as it's a scam, a lot of sellers get these messages/offers.

but you can cancel the item, but you have to give a reason.

Answer 2

you can't end the auction if someone has bid on it, but if the other person pays for it via paypal, i'm afraid you'll have to post it to the winner, unless they ask for a refund.

Answer 3

You can't end an auction that a bidder has placed a bid that you said you would accept. Not if you want to sell on ebay again.

Answer 4

You can end the auction by cancelling a bid and email the  bidder saying 'the item is broken or damaged' and is no longer available' and still sell to the person who made the offer but you would probably have to relist it on a 'buy it now' for the person who made an offer.
