I do not see "Buy it Now" Option" So I doubt you can back out of the ebay post until the bidding period expires. Of course, $280 is far better than the ongoing bid right now, but neither can you back out before the bidding period is over. If the bidding period is over and reserve was not met, then and only then can you sell it at $280. You'd better wish your reserve is higher than $280! Need to tell this to the guy offering $280!

Yeah, but it's against Ebay's TOS to do it because you don't think it's going to sell high enough. If you wanted to guarantee a good price, you should have put a reserve on it and paid the extra fee.

Note: Sellers are not permitted to cancel bids and end listings early in order to avoid selling an item that did not meet the desired sale price. This is considered to be reserve fee circumvention. Although there are legitimate reasons for ending a listing early, abuse of this option will be investigated.
