I just went to list a live auction and cannot locate the reserve price feature. Did ebay do away with it?

Consider using your reserve price as the starting price.
I believe that will save you a reserve price listing fee.
Then you can exclude the insincere low-ball cheapskate bidders.
They will not come back and place realistic higher bids as the ending deadline approaches.

That's a curious question. Although I rarely use live auctions, I went into a draft I had and changed from Fixed to Auction and yes, the option to set a reserve was there. I know this isn't going to be greatly helpful, but try a different browser or on your PC if you've started the listing with a smartphone. I have found SUBSTANTIAL differences between platforms. It could also have something to do with other settings you have made, such as the duration of the sale, etc. Double check those by changing your answer and see if you do see the reserve price option. The good news is that it still exists. It could also be a feedback or experience thing. Certain aspects of selling are limited when you're just getting started. Also, there may be restrictions on that which you are listing. Do you mind telling me something about the item? Thanks! I hope this helps a little.

Hi, reserve price is still there. When you're creating an auction-style listing, you'll see the option to add your reserve price in either the Selling details section (advanced form) or in the Pricing section (quick listing tool). Below is the policy page for reserve price info.

No. But I think they made it pretty expensive now.
