Can one remove a reserve on an auction while its in progress? The items in question do have bids on them.
While listing items a few nights ago I had one reserve auction followed by two auctions that I didn't need reserves. Somehow the second two auctions carried over the reserve from the first auction.

No, you cannot remove the reserve, you can add to your description that the reserve was not supposed to be there. Or you can wait to the end, someone might meet the reserve, or you can still sell to the highest bidder when it is over.

If you listed it through the so called 'improved' auction manager here at AW, that's where the problem is with the reserve. I 'loaded' two auctions to AW a couple of day ago .. says NR in title. Went in tonight (wouldn't let me review) but I knew all my info was correct so I launched them.
Auction manager had taken the opening bid from the first auction ($35) and made it the reserve on both my NR auctions. Unfortunately I launched the $15 item first .. on the next one I got an error notice "reserve must be higher than opening bid" so I caught it before launching. Wasted $4 on a $15 item .. should have changed the description but cancelled before I remembered that listing fees are not refundable. Now if I want to list it, it will go in as a relist and I get to pay another $1!
