Did you mean: 

Ending an auction when you have one day to go but no bids

What would you suggest?  Stay till the end or delete before the end.  Item has 12 watchers but that doesn't mean anything in my past experience.  Most people are looky loos' or just want info.  Thoughts???

Wasn't the whole point of your listing the item to sell it?

 

let it run to see what happens.

For some......It seems wisdom has been chasing you, but you have always been faster.

It is specifically against the rules for a seller to cancel all bids and end the auction early without a winner IF it is because s/he deliberately set the Starting Price lower than s/he was willing to sell for, and it hasn't reached that high.  This is considered fee avoidance because eBay charges a substantial fee for sellers to have a Reserve Price so they aren't promising to sell as low as their Starting Price.  In my opinion it is also against the rules to end early because it hasn't gotten a bid (still avoiding the fee).  Set your Starting Price at your true minimum and you're covered if you only get one bid, and you can hope for a flurry of snipers bidding their true maximums to raise it beyond that.
