Ending eBay Auctions Early
Published October 3rd, 2004
eBay recently changed the rules regarding when sellers can end an auction early. Some sellers were ending auctions and canceling all bids minutes before they ended. This was upsetting bidders. Now sellers cannot end auctions in the last 12 hours without selling to the high bidder. Before the change, a seller could end an auction and cancel all bids with one mouse click. Now a seller may still be able to end an auction in the last few minutes, but will have to cancel each bid separately, and cannot end an auction that had a winning bidder.
