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?

That's the thing with ebay... people will bid up the cheapest thing for the most expensive price.

*shrug* I don' tknow what to tell you otherwise.

No, first off ending an auction early for someone when there are already bids on it is not fair to the other bidders. I think it's a no-no with ebay, too. Jusat let her know exactly that: doing so would not be fair to current bidders, who may choose to bid higher close to the end of the auction.

Caveat Emptor.

She's a grown up, she'll have to deal with it. That's how bidding on eBay works.

The only thing I might want to clarify in the future is the return policy.

i would explain what you think the quality of the skirt to be
& see what she has to say. chances are likely that she will want
to buy it anyway. its possible that this is an item she once had
& lost or something or is just EXACTLY THE piece shes been looking
for for ages & thinks however much is worth it to pay.
