What, if any, are fees for ending a listing early?
When my listings (BIN) have not sold in, say 4-6 months, I like to end the listings...wait a week or two (or a month) then either relist or "sell similar"-- change the pictures or wording. I don't like my listing to show they've been active for a long time.
Now I'm wondering...am I paying a fee for ending those listings?
I have a basic store and never use up all my allotted listings.
Also, I have a few 7 day auction listings...will I pay a fee if I end them early?
TIA

There is a pretty good help page on these questions...
but, in general, you can end a Buy It Now virtually anytime of your choosing.....
You can also end auctions IF there are no bids
If there are bids you may be charged as though the sale materialized....
(also, you create ill-will ending an auction with bid(s))
There are some small restrictions on both.....

Your BIN listings, there's no fee to end it.
The only time they might charge a fee is if you have recently received a message or offer on the item and they think you ended the listing to sell it off of Ebay.

If there are no bids or offers you can end them without penalty.
For Fixed Priced items in your store you also could use the Out of Stock option by making the quantity zero.
