Ebay selling question

My question is on EBAY are we allowed to list an item for sale and then after a couple of days if it doesnt sell pull the ad down? Im talking specifically "buy it now" sale. Is this practice frowned upon? Can i get charged fees from Ebay if I do this?

What happens if i end a listing on ebay?

Steps

Log in to your seller's eBay account.

Click on “My eBay” and select “Selling.”

Navigate to the item or listing you want removed.

Select “End my listing early” from the “More actions” drop-down menu located to the right of the item you want removed. ...

Select the option that best describes how you want your listing ended

Appreciate it. I did see that but there is no mention if you will get penalized for this. Im assuming no penalty.

No penalty unless there are bids on it and it's within 12 hours of the auction ending.

No

Be aware that if you cancel a listing before it sells, it may count against your eBay seller rating.

As was mentioned a few posts above, when you click to end an item for sale, eBay provides an option menu to select why the listing is being cancelled. If you chose "_the item is no longer available for sale_" or "_there was an error in the listing_" it will count against you (give you a negative mark) on your eBay seller rating. The only choice that will not give you a negative mark is "_the item was lost or broken_".

During the last 12 months I once mistakingly selected _the item is no longer available for sale_, and it cost me a negative mark. When you get more than 3 marks over a 12 month period, eBay considers your selling status to be "below standard" and raises the final value fee charged to you for selling on the platform.

Be careful!

I've canceled items a million times with no impact/fees. I always choose 'no longer available for sale'.

I agree with the above - I’ve ended many times with “item no longer available”. It’s honestly the only reason I’ve ever ended an auction early, and it was a legit reason - I have had items listed on BST and eBay simultaneously.

Honestly, I’m not even sure what a “seller rating” even is. I’m usually just concerned with feedback, especially positive percentage. Though, I’m sure some dork will want to chime in to explain how important the seller rating is.

Thanks guys. This is exactly what I was thinking about. I basically have a driver on Ebay for sale right now, and a guy in my league who might buy it from me next week if I still have it....ok so if I do just say item no longer for sale.

Also ive had some nike blue lc4 for sale for a month and no buyers I might as well as just keep them now!

He’s wrong, the negative mark is for cancelling a transaction, not for pulling a listing. I’ve done it probably a hundred times without an issue.
