How do I know my auction item has a Reserve?

On my current auction item I paid for the use of a reserve price. However, I do not see the heading “Reserve not met” in the current bid column. I am concerned that my listing somehow did not get set up with the reserved price that I paid for. How can I tell if my listing has a reserve?

I am concerned the current bidders are unaware of the fact that there is a reserve price. If there is no reserve on my item – and I want a reserve – should I delete the listing and start all over? I do not wish to disappoint the highest bidder should the final offer be less than the reserve I thought I had.

Any advice?

Mark,
I was the highest bidder to date and I understand your concern. The auction was not set up with a reserve, so cancelling it was probably your best option.

I was trying to figure out what happened to the auction. I was the individual Julio recently outbid....
I agree with Julio, it was probably your only option.
