Default ebay........

How long can you leave an auction before you end it early. Can you leave it say, half hour to the end?

Ah right. The thing is, i lowered the reserve from Ł4000 but entered Ł3000 by mistake instead of Ł3500, now it wont let me take it up to Ł3500. Is there any way i can get it back up to Ł3500?

Cheers.

I was thinking about this today. Surely we have the right to cancel an auction right up till the last minute though as its our goods for sale, and not ebays.

At the end of the day, its a contract, and the contract is not complete until it ends. Just like a written contract is not complete until its signed.
