The best ways on eaby seem to be set a low starting price £10 or so, then fix a reserve at what you will take for it. It costs more as you have to pay for the reserve.

What seems common practice though is set a low start up - don't have a reserve, then get your mate to bid up to what would be your reserve price. You avoid the charges, and it looks like there's been lots of activity on the item.

Aint Ebay great!!!

Although this is against ebay policy and may even be illegal (it's called shill bidding)
