I am fairly certain as long as there are no bids you can end an auction early.....

Whether you can end your auction listing early depends on if you’ve received any bids yet, how much time is left in the auction, and if you have a reserve price in place.

Listing format

Time left in listing

Listing state

Can the listing be ended early?

Fixed Price

N/A

With or without open offers

Yes

Auction

 

 

 

 

 

12 or more hours

 

 

No Bids

Yes

1 or more bids with reserve price not met

Yes. You may be charged a final value fee based on the amount of the highest bid.

1 or more bids with reserve price met or no reserve price set

Yes, you may end the listing by cancelling all bids. You may be charged a final value fee based on the amount of the highest bid, or you may sell the item to the highest bidder.

Fewer than 12 hours

 

 

No bids

Yes

1 or more bids with reserve price not met

Yes. You may be charged a final value fee based on the amount of the highest bid

1 or more bids with reserve price met or no reserve price set

No, you can only sell the item to the highest bidder

If your listing isn't eligible to be ended early, you can contact any bidders to explain the situation and ask them to retract their bids. If the auction has finished, you can contact the winner and, if they agree, you can cancel the transaction.

You can only end auction listings with bids one at a time by selecting a valid reason.  

Ending listings early disappoints bidders, so we may place limits and restrictions on your account if you are doing so regularly.

They already provided the relevant details about their listing.  So rather than just quoting the whole dang Help page, you could have focused on the relevant cells and just said, "Yes."

@nobody*s_perfect   Oh my!  Im sorry I didnt answer as you think is appropriate.

 

Sometimes it is best to move on and not try to be perfect or relevant.
