If you want £5 now, then make your listing a fixed-price listing, not an auction. You don't seem to understand or appreciate that there are rules that govern the auction format, making them different from fixed-price listings. In the auction format, you are giving other bidders the chance to jump in and place a higher bid than your opening price. The amount of time you give those bidders is up to you, but if you're going to close the auction early and sell to the current high bidder outside of eBid, you're breaking eBid's rules. Don't shoot the messenger, I didn't make the rules.
