Always fun when I get region2 flustered (twice!).

let's remind everyone that the minimum Reserve is £50 in the UK

By all means – “let’s”. While we’re in the reminding mood, let’s remind everyone that rojimm posted a $ sign, NOT a £ sign.

“Guess”? Not only going to enjoy it the first time, AND the second time, but NOW a third time:

Best if you post a link to the bid history, to get an accurate response.

Not sure how to better highlight the “accurate”.

That’s a pretty definitive statement you made there, region2, yet you preceded it with the somewhat speculative “guess”. You might be right, region2, but again (don’t know how many times I’ll have to say this before region2 gets it), to be certain (aka accurate), best to look at the auction.



NOW, I did find this in the eBay’s help text for the country that uses $ sign:
Reserve price fees
Reserve price         Fee
$0.01 - $199.99     $2.00
$200.00 and up     1.0% of reserve price (up to $50.00)


Since ebay lists a fee based on a reserve price of anything below $200 (notice the $ sign), it would appear that a reserve can be less than $50.
