Hey Guys!
I usually just visit this site and read all the expert advise and entertainment that you are all so good at.
Anyway, can anyone tell me how to lower my reserve?
I'm selling a piece of equipment in the business & industry catagory. The auction has days to go...it does have bids. Now it's my understanding that if is longer than 12 hours from ending I should be allowed to do it.
When I go to "revise my listing" the only things it will allow are the description, shipping, etc. Nothing on the reserve.
Am I wrong in thinking I can lower it? Thanks!

Once an item has bids you can't do much except add to the description. If you go into revise this auction you will get a message as to what you can revise with items with a bid.

I think the only place you're allowed to lower your reserve during the auction is in eBay motors for car auctions etc. ... I've seen some of those auctions where there's a message near the top of the listing that reads something like, "The Seller has lowered the Reserve!"

You can add a reserve even if the auction has bids however. I have seen this done a number of times much to my dismay. I would imagine the partys who listed the auctions found out just about what their items were worth and did not want to take any chances. Why e-bay allows this is obvious.
