Did I miss an announcement?

[Saltire]

about the change to Buy it Now prices? That they must be mroe than 40% higher than the starting price of the item? I cannot remember seeing this anywhere.

I have not heard that either

Glad it's not just me, have had a look through all my announcements and can't seem to find it. When i get more time I'll have a look on the ebay forums and see if anyone there mentions it

It means that if you list something as 99p start price then its going to have to be a BIN price of at least £1.49! I always make BIN prices about 10-20p more tha tthe starting price so that if someone wnts it and doesn't want to wait till autcion ends then they can get it.

Just another way to make it more difficult for sellers
I don't know anything about this either.

Kara - you're right, they are just interested in helping the buyers all the time.

Yes this changed on the 5th May.

Ridiculous.

I think this is more about recouping higher profits for ebay. As always. If you put a BIN that is only a little bit more than the start price, ebay don't make as much when it sells. Which doesn't do anything for buyers either. What gitwizards!

I hadn't heard about this either - I spent some time looking at the eBay help pages yesterday and found nothing about it. Mind you, how often do you find anything you want on the eBay help pages?

eBay seem to have sneaked in a lot of changes and security procedures recently which they haven't told anyone about......
