Cancel bidding or ending on Ebay?

[mgsvr]

So I got my Fatal Frame 2 PS2 listed up on Ebay, however not many people are bidding on it. So far it's only 1 day left but only 2 person bid on it for $4.xx.

I'm not sure if I should end the item or cancel the bidding work, can someone explain? What if only 10 more minute from end of aunction and it's only $10.xx? I know Fatal Frame 2 worth atleast $20.

Anyway I'm just asking only, don't know if I will end the item or not. If I do, that would be suck for the buyers and not fun as a Ebayer right?

There's usually a slew of bidders in the last few hours..
But as for ending the auction early because you didn't get the price you wanted, it's against the rules to do that and you're right, it would be a bad move on your part.
The only valid reasons for ending are:

The item is no longer available for sale.
There was an error in the starting price or reserve amount.
There was an error in the listing.
The item was lost or broken.(Stolen from Ebay help files)


Note: Sellers are not permitted to cancel bids and end listings early in order to avoid selling an item that did not meet the desired sale price. This is considered to be reserve fee circumvention (http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/listing-reserve.html). Although there are legitimate reasons for ending a listing early, abuse of this option will be investigated.

If you wanted to get more money from it, you shoulda put a reserve or simply started the auction at a higher price.

i haven't done it in awhile, but i think you can just go to "my ebay" and click on "end item" on the drop down box next to the item you are cancelling. i sold my fatal frame 2 (xbox) about a month ago for around $15 + shipping. they were consistently selling for around $15 at that time. don't worry if the bids are not what you expected it to be b/c 90% of the bidding is done within the last few hours of the auction. good luck!

Well my Silent Hill PS1 game have like tons of bidder when it's 2-3 more days left. FFVII is the same with tons of bidder with 1-2 day left.

So far I'm worried with Fatal Frame 2 since I've list it up 5 days but it's still $4.xx. Maybe I'm unlucky because it's not the right time people look into Fatal Frame anymore? Silent Hill Movie make the Silent Hill game hot. I remember back when the Grudge or The Ring is out...people hunt for Fatal Frame like crazy.

You can't end it if you are within 12 hours left on the auction. (I think it is 12, might be 24). I wouldn't worry about it though. If it is that low and running out of time, you normally get last minute bidders that get it higher up.
