[Anonymous]

Does Ebay charge for ending a buy it now listing in 2021?

No.

No and I just ended one Monday afternoon and no charge

Thanks, I just ended it. I ended an auction item because a guy from Uruguay kept bidding and I stated I won't sell or ship outside USA. He put two bids and clicking on the user it said this might be a fraud. He then put another bid after I canceled the first ones. So I ended the auction. Woke up this AM to find a charge for a sold item. "Get out of the way if you can't lend a hand, oh the times they are a changing!"

Thank for all the replies...very helpful!

Good luck with your future with Ebay!

Auctions are different because a buyer has placed a bid and committed to the purchase.

You can end your auction listing early if:

• There are no bids on your item
• There are bids on your item, and you are willing to sell your item to the current highest bidder
• There are bids on your item, and you don't want to sell it to the highest bidder, but there are 12 or more hours left in the listing. You'll need to cancel all active bids before you can end your listing. In this situation, we charge a fee equivalent to the final value fee that you would have paid if the listing had ended on its own and sold for the highest bid received when you ended the listing. We allow you to end one listing each calendar year without being charged this fee

Thanks, I just ended it. I ended an auction item...

Know that you originally posted about BIN listings. Are you thinking of relisting  them that way? If you're asking about Auctions, they're different. I think @coffeebean832 nailed that. Proceed with caution and good luck.

You do lose your listing fee .... if you paid one.

Thanks coffeebean832, I understand the policy now, it's just I didn't do it right. should have opened a case against this guy in Uruguay but I didn't know the policy. My bad. Best way to get an answer from Ebay is Facebook message!

Cheers!

Best way to get an answer is to post here. Many people on this forum know way more than eBay CS. 😉 Good to hear your questions have been answered.

 You didn't have to cancel the auction OR put up with this bidder. You had other options, including canceling his bid(s), putting him on your blocked-bidder lsit, and blocking bidders who are located in places you don't ship to.

Sellers are allowed to cancel any bid, and to block any bidder.

Cancel bid: http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?CancelBidShow

Block bidder: http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?BidderBlockLogin

Also, I'm still not clear on what happened with the second listing: Did you end an unsold listing, OR did you cancel a transaction in which this bidder returned to purchase your item? Canceling a transaction is not the same thing as canceling a listing. I hope that if you canceled the transaction you chose the reason "Problem with buyer's address"!
