I have a gun for sale on GB and I received and email through GB from a potential bidder who gave me an acceptable offer. How do I end the GB auction yet still pay the GB fee's. I don't want to get in trouble by cutting them out of the sale since the buyer found my gun on GB. | ||

If no bids, yet, you can end the auction. Just click on the End Auction tab. But, once a bid is made, you can no longer end it early. If you can end it, you will not incur a seller's fee, of course. But, you still have to pay the listing fee. Q | |||

You can't end early, sell to a nonbidder, and still give GB their fee. Have the buyer bid their offer amount. When (If?) the buyer wins, GB get paid. Nice is overrated "It's every freedom-loving individual's duty to lie to the government." Airsoftguy, June 29, 2018 | |||

Somebody trying to go around the auction system like that would make me suspicious. Why did this "potential bidder" not simply bid? And, if you had a certain amount in mind, why would you not have included a "buy it now" price? "America is at that awkward stage.

Can you edit the auction and add a buy it now?  | |||

Kinda what I was thinking. My opening bid was $2000 and my buy it now was $2500. He offered right in the middle. I think my best option is to change my buy it now to the price we agreed on and he can just use the buy it now feature through GB. | |||

Why not just leave it be and let him bid? If he wins, he wins. If he doesn't, you do  "America is at that awkward stage.

I would do that......confirm a time that you will do it and have him hit the buy it now tab right after you change it. | |||

I've done that very thing on eBay before. Made an offer through messaging. The Buyer edited their Buy It Now Price. I bought it. | |||
