Thanks Danno - I do want to list it legitimately and use PayPal etc and abide by the rules. But I think I may have confused you - I wasn't talking about setting a Reserve price. I was using the word "reserved" to mean trying to "reserve" (target) the item for its intended customer only. It wouldn't be a false sale as the person would really pay me and they would really get the item. It's just I'm concerned about someone else actually getting a higher bid in or whatever.
PS I only have a feedback score of 3 at the moment, as I've just started, so I have yet to reach the magic score of 5
PS what's a DSR?? Sorry to be ignorant!
