Evening,

I made a mistake on my listing with a reserve price, i put one on and then decided to remove the reserve too attract more interest shortly after.

The listing is still active, will i still have to pay the reserve fee?

Many thanks,

Matt.

If you decide to use a reserve then you will still be charged for having used it, regardless of whether the items sells or not. The best option is to forget about using the reserve and start your auctions off at the minimum price that you'd be happy to accept if you only received one bid and the buyer paid you, especially as the reserve option can often act as a deterrent to people who may have otherwise decided to place a bid. That way you won't end up losing any extra money in fees for wasteful options which, in effect, turn eBay sellers into little more than cash cows for eBay.
