My BIN just disappeared!

happy942 · Jul 25th, 2008, 02:06 AM

So maybe I'm just uninformed or something, but I just checked my listing and my BIN option has disappeared! It was definitely there earlier, but the price of the item has gone up considerably (150 --> 313). Is BIN something that is disabled at some point in time? For any reason? Has this happened to anyone else? I don't want to pay for BIN if no one can use it, you know?

Yep-If your auction does not have a reserve price the BIN dissapears when the bidding begins.

i do wish the BIN would stay throughout !

yep if you start something at .99 with a BIN of 150 and no reserve as soon as somebody places a bid the BIN will dissappear.

It sucks, but thats why i like Best Offer :) x

Thanks ladies! It's been a while since I've sold.

I'm not sure, but I think the BIN option remains until the bid reaches 50% of the BIN price UNLESS you start the bidding at .99, in which case it disappears immediately with the first bid. That has been my experience anyway.

I have had no reserve items for sale w/ BIN eBay wouldn't let me list a BIN until I was a "confirmed" ebayer

It does disappear when the bidding reaches a certain point, but I am not sure when that is. I have read on the eBay website forums that some say it disappears at 50%, while others have noted it at others percentages...another thing that ebay just makes no sense with
