Don’t cancel it, but lower the price to 10 cents and raise the shipping costs to 500 euros, write just one word in the description, shorten the title, downgrade the item to a spare part, leave only one photo that’s barely visible, then let the days pass until the auction expires and if they deduct the commissions, calculate 5% on 10 cents.
But before making claims without any proof, which just because you think them automatically become absolute truths, have you read the last reply to your post?

Hi gius.intr
I see you’ve been on eBay since 2015
Going from memory, shipping costs should be limited, so you wouldn’t be able to set 500 euros for shipping.
But even if it were possible, you’d still pay the selling fees on the 500 euros of shipping.
What would the point be? To stop the item from selling?
The minimum sale price should be 1 euro, so where did you get these 10 cents from?
Writing just one word in the description serves to keep your listing from being found (maybe that’s the point).
The last point about 5% on 10 cents isn’t clear to me......
Let’s say the forum is free and open to everyone who wants to give advice, but you at least need to be up to date on how the platform works in 2025 because a lot has changed in 10 years.

·1 year agoSorry, but if it’s a "buy it now", what’s the point of going through all this trouble?

Fees are paid ALSO ON SHIPPING COSTS, so you'd pay fees on 500 euros.... 🤔

In the drop-down menu next to the item, you’ll find “close the listing”.
