Hi Rose,
Yea that happens alot. You can end it early if you want but I wouldnt unless they were offering pretty close to what you want. Let us know how it goes! Hope you get lots of $! :)

If it was me, I wouldn't. Tell the person to bid on it and they might get it cheaper for what they would offer.
I had someone once ask me to cancel and auction and take the money that he was offering. I told him nope, that the auction was going to run its course. He shot me back a nasty email saying that I mustn't have a clue about sports memorabilia and I wouldn't get any more than what he was going to offer. The thing went for something like 4 - 5 x what he offered for it.
Oh by the way, if you end the auction, and end up getting ripped off, eBay can't help you whatsoever on it because it wasn't a completed auction.

Wow your starting price is a bit low for a $155 value bikini, but you will learn eventually. good luck. I never end my autions early, but I always start them at a price that I'm comfortable with instead of waiting for someone to bid high, and I use Buy It Now also just in case someone gets the urge to make an impulse buy. I have put up some pretty high prices in BIN and was suprised that some folks buy that way.
