Question

If there is an item on ebay up for bid can the seller accept an offer before the autcion is over?

Answer 1

yes, a seller can do that.

here is the link to do it:

http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?E...

here are the rules:

To end your listing early:

Type your item number into the End My Listing Early form. (You can get this number on your listing View Item Page, on your confirmation email, or on your My eBay page.)

If there are bids on your item, choose between:

        

Cancel bids and end listing early or Sell item to high bidder(s) and end listing early.

If your item has no bids, you can skip this step.

Choose the reason you're ending your listing early.

Your listing will end and will no longer be displayed on eBay. If there were bidders, they will be emailed that their bid will be canceled.

Answer 2

yes they can because the offerer decides how much he or she wants to wait to get money

Answer 3

Only if the Sellar sets up the 'buy it now' feature.  Otherwise, the auction can't be stopped.
