Quick question here that hopefully someone who's eBay (selling) savvy can hopefully help me with ASAP:

How do you end an auction early?  I'm selling something for the first time EVER on eBay, since we wound up with an extra pair of tickets to the Eagles concert at Staples Center tonight.  I mentioned that I may end the auction early if time becomes a factor for a potential buyer, since the auction end is 5pm, but the concert starts at 8pm.

But now that I'm looking at my auction, I don't see any options for ending it early anywhere.  Where is it?  Or am I screwed...?

Help me!  :P

You can do one of two things. 

1) Go to your My eBay page.  In your Selling list, there should is an "Action" column.  Click on the arrow and select "End Auction Early"

2) Go here and type in your auction number - http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?EndingMyAuction

Hope this helps.

John

Does anyone know how to close a Paypal account? Somebody just tried to fleece me for $190, and I need to know how to close one. Paypal's site didn't have anything I could find about the subject, and now I'm fretting about it.

Ben, try removing your credit card and/or bank account info from your account. Don't know if it will work or not, but it's worth a shot (and that's all I could come up with).

Ya know what I love about ebay? People who win your auction, and then e-mail you and ask you every day if you've received their payment yet and shipped out their item.

That's what I did. I couldn't sleep at all Thursday night thinking about it, so I went to the bank Friday morning and declared that card a hot card, and if anyone tries to use it, they're in for a surprise.

I think I'm going to close the account anyway. I don't do that much buying on the intarweb anymore, and the security risks are just too ******* high and Paypal doesn't do a goddamn thing about it besides say it was a fraudulent email.

I'm looking into using some sniping software with eBay, but I'm wondering but the best one is, ie. reliability, ease of use, etc.  Can anyone recommend one to me?
