Hey guys, needs some ebay help.
Just listed an item on ebay last night and have had a few calls this morning from people who just want to 'buy it now' i didnt list a buy it now price so just wanted to know, am i able to end the auction early to sell it to one of these turkeys?
someone has already put a bid in on it so i dont know how this works, do i have to honour the auction or can i just sell it to this guy who wants to pick it up tonight?

If you can get in touch with the guy who wants to buy if now tell him you will change the add
Then all you have to do is edit the listing and add a buy it now price. I did this once and the item sold within 15 seconds of me submitting the changers to the add

Unless you state in your add that the item is advertised elsewhere i think ebay might get there nose out of joint.
just edit your listing and ad a buy it now price then the guy that wants it clicks the button,gets in touch with you and picks it up, after paying of course. peace of piss

so long as there is more than 12 hours till the auction ends, you can cancel all bids first, then finish the listing early.
If you end up selling it via ebay be ready for at least 5% of the final price to be fee's, where as if u sell it outside of ebay you will save yourself those fee's you wont get your inital listing fee back though.
If you sell it to this other person but then also the auction ends with a buyer you will most likely piss them off and they will give you a negative feedback, so just cancel there bids, end the auction early, avoid fee's and sell to this other person!
Enjoy your money
