than the starting bid.
Example: At an art house a painting may starting the bidding at $1,000. but the seller has put a reserve of $5,000 and if the bidding doesn't get there, the item does not sell, even if you've bid $4,000. No sale.
Same applies on eBay. A seller can set a reserve but start the auction at .99 cents
No reserve gives buyers the impression that a deal can be found there.
