Reserve price fee is 2% so it's almost always cheaper without a reserve. In this case:

£600 start and no reserve is £2.

£1 start and £600 reserve price is £12.20

Reserve and/or a high start price are a sure way to kill the auction and put bidders off. 99p and no reserve is the way to go for everything including bikes, trust the market forces hehe. I've never lost out that way. If you get cold feet, use a second ID to put a fake reserve on, I don't do that though, writing good auctions with good pics is usually enough.

Me mate makes a living selling 50s to 80s Triumph spares and has been bitten by offering items without a proper starting price. He gave a T150 crank away for peanuts and won't do it again. He always states the bottom price that he's willing to accept these days.

Plenty of folk do as Arenalife says and get someone to put a bid in up to the price you're willing to let it sell for.

It's against ebay rules, but personally, I don't know anyone who sells on ebay that doesn't do it. Maybe it's the circle of friends that I move around in?
