Ending an auction-style listing early once it has received a bid can lead to disappointed and frustrated buyers who may be less likely to bid on listings the next time around, so you may be charged a fee if you end a listing early. This fee is equal to the final value fee (not including shipping charges) you would have paid if the listing had ended on its own and sold for the highest bid received when the seller ended the listing.

This fee is charged if you cancel bids and end an auction-style listing early without a buyer.

This fee isn't charged if you end an auction-style listing early and sell to the high bidder. (In this case, final value fees apply.)

This fee doesn't apply to listings in the Real Estate and eBay Motors vehicle categories, and the Classified Ads selling format.

Because we understand that sometimes it may be necessary to end a listing early, you won't be charged a fee for the first auction-style listing you end early (where a fee applies) per calendar year (January 1 to December 31).

Hi Steve-

Thanks. I find it odd that the guy (or gal) would go through all of this hassle to have to end up paying "anything" Why list it, pull it, and have to pay ebay??? It sounds lame. And why waste everyone's time? It sounds like he/she even had legit bidders?

Sincerely, Clayton

My bid had been blown out about 12-15k ago ..... but that's not really the issue.
You are right ..... it sucks, but the seller probably got a side offer and ended it.
Or ..... maybe just an idiot who took a small fee to conduct a stunt to see what kind of interest there was even though it just came off the auction block.
