Seller rules

Can a seller cancel an auction or withdraw an item?

On Hunters, yes — until the final 24 hours. Once an auction is inside its last day with bids or watchers, withdrawal locks and the auction runs to its end; only support can cancel it for genuine cause. Before that, sellers can withdraw (bidders and watchers are notified), and a lot nobody has bid on or watched can be pulled any time. Listings lock for editing at the first bid, and a reserve can be removed mid-auction but never raised.

Why the final 24 hours lock

The end of an auction is when bidders have invested the most — watching the clock, planning around pickup, holding money ready. Last-minute withdrawals (usually because the seller sold it off-site) are the fastest way to kill trust in an auction platform, so here they're simply not possible. If something genuinely stops the sale — the item broke, it was stolen — contact support; support cancellations leave an audit trail.

What sellers can always do

Withdraw an untouched lot (no bids, no watchers) at any moment. Withdraw a contested lot up until the final 24 hours — with a password or quick-PIN confirmation, and everyone with a bid or watch is notified. Remove the reserve at any time while the auction is live, which often reignites bidding; that's one-way — no raising it, no putting it back.

Editing locks at the first bid

Until someone bids, everything is editable. From the first bid, the listing is frozen — changing the goods under people's bids would be a rug-pull, so the platform makes it impossible rather than against the rules.
