I just want to know if you dont have a reserve on your item and the final bid is not high enough do you have to sell the item for the final bid offer? :confused::confused:

Thanks...

The answer would be YES. If you do not set a reserve or a starting price you are happy with you are expected to sell it for what it ends at.

Ok so if I have a reserve and thats not met at the end of the auction I have the option of selling to the highest bidder or not selling at all?

If the auction gets close to your reserve and you would accept a lower bid you can revise your auction and lower the reserve, or set the BIN higher with a best offer option. I am not sure if you can contact a buyer after the auction to sell it or not. Ebay would most likely frown on it because your not paying final value fees.

Exactly, if you set a reserve price and its not met you can get suspended from ebay if you try to sell to the highest bidder off ebay. The best thing to do is if you have an amount you need for the card is to set a BIN/BO about 10-15% above what you actually would take then if you get a offer close to what you really wanted you can except or counter.

If you set it at .99 and let it run and for some reason it doesn't go as high as you expected. IT still has to be sold for the winning amount to that buyer. Once you list a card or anything its a binding contract and you could even get suied over it.
