I've had someone email and ask what the reserve is on one of my auctions (it hasn't gotten there yet). Should I tell her?

I have in the past when asked. But I've never had them bid as high as the reserve.... so maybe that's not such a good thing. LOL

I have had in the past & will in the future have several reserve auctions. I always tell anyone who asks what the rerserve is. Why not? It isn't going to change the final outcome. If it is higher than they want to go, fine they wouldn't have won it anyway.

I also tell. Sometimes I put it in my auction description, but I tell why I put it there, but now I have started not to put a reserve but start the auction where the reserve would be. Less money to eBay....
Also telling the reserve and if someone does bid it then the bidding might go higher than you expect.
