I'm not a big Ebay user but I was watching a saw for a few days. It had a Buy it Now option. When I got home tonight I decided to buy it. I pulled it up and it had one bid, far below the Buy it Now. I put the computer to sleep, went and got some chow. Came back about an hour later, the Buy it Now option has disappeared. The bid is still below the Buy it Now. Can a seller pull the Buy it Now option before that figure is met? Seems like a @#$% move to me! Help me understand!:confused:

For items paid for using Immediate Payment that have both a bid price and a Buy It Now price, the Buy It Now price will disappear once a bid is placed.

Different ways of selling at a fixed price

Here is a comparison of the three ways you can list items at a set price.

Fixed Price (Buy It Now)

When you list an item as Buy It Now only:

Buyers can purchase your item immediately at the price you set, but they cannot bid on your item.

The Buy It Now price is always available.

You can sell more than one item per listing.

You can also add the Best Offer feature.




Auctions with a Buy It Now price

You can add a Buy It Now price to your online auction listing:

Buyers will have the option to buy your item immediately or place a bid on your item.

The Buy It Now option will only be available when there are no bids on the item or until the reserve price is met. Once there’s a bid or the reserve price is met, the option disappears. (For items in the Parts & Accessories category on eBay Motors, the Buy It Now option may be available after the first bid, but it is still only available for a limited time. For more information, visit the eBay Motors discussion board.)

Auctions with a Buy It Now price also display in the Auctions tab.

You can only sell one item per listing.

A fee also applies for all auction-style listings that include a Buy It Now price, since these items have slightly increased visibility on the browse and search results pages.

Store item format

If you have an eBay Store, you can list a Store item at a fixed price:

Buyers can purchase your item immediately at the price you set, but they cannot bid on your item.

The Buy It Now price is always available.

You can sell more than one item per listing.

The item will appear only in your eBay Store and in cross-merchandising for your other listings.

There is a lower Insertion Fee per 30 days (up to 120 days), regardless of quantity.

You can conveniently sell accessories, add-ons, and deep inventory.
