In a dilemma

Help ebay savvy folk!
I bought this skirt last year or the year before from Newport News. It's nice enough as black gauze tiered skirts go, but it's nothing special. I got it for probably 7.99.This woman wants to buy it now for $50. It's already $24. I feel like it's ridiculous and she'll be disappointed and she's a newbie to boot.

I guess I feel like I'd be taking advantage of her if it goes much higher.

It's here

What do I do?

she asked me to change it to buy it now? That seems pretty off to me too.
DO you think?

Untill I saw this, I was going to say. End it and let her have it.

However, she's asking for it cheaper then her max bid.

So I think she working you. She's no newbie.

In fact, my BS detector is going off.

"Sorry, there are other bidders, so I cant' just end it."

Then wait for the check to clear before shipping it.

I don't think "Buy It Now" can be used once someone has bid on an auction item.

I say, let the auction run its course and if she wants to pay a lot for the skirt then let her. You're in no way forcing her to place her bids.

You can't change it to buy-it-now. No changing the listing is allowed after there are bids.
