Quick question, disappearing Buy it Now

[MrsCaptainReynolds]

Selling on ebay just now, first time for years...start price £100, BiN £200. When bids started BiN disappeared!

Is this new? Can I get the BiN back?

BIN has always disappeared once there have been bids hasn't it?

BIN only applies where there are no bids as far as I know. As soon as anyone bids then the BIN option is removed.

I don't think it has always disappeared once bids start, but it might have done for a long time as I've been doing more buying than selling in the past 10 years.

yes - if you have a start price and a buy it now if someone bids the buy it now has always disappeared.

IIRC if you set a BIN with a reserve the BIN will remain after bids are placed. So if you set a £200 reserve and a £100 start bid the BIN will stay until reserve is met.
