why can't I set a reserve price for my listing?

Sadly, it looks like Ebay no longer allows you to set a reserve price. The method pinkflamingo2855suggested doesn't seem to exist.This is frustrating because it makes Ebay much less useful to me. The reserve price was an immensely useful feature, especially if you weren't sure how much it was worth online, but knew an offline price you could use.The whole "just list it at the min price" argument is naive. A high initial bid scares off most bidders, even if the price is still rediculously under value, and people get in bidding wars all the time. I've listed items at $10 that didn't sell, and then relisted them at $1 only to have them sell for $50 later.
