Reserve fee in Electronics & Photography
From 13 March, a 25c reserve fee will apply to auctions in the Electronics & photography category when you choose to specify a reserve price.
This change has been designed to improve the buying experience in this category, and we encourage sellers to list with a start price equal to reserve.
Technical Problem this afternoon

The problem has now been fixed. We apologise for any inconvenience.
