opt for the fixed price auction format, not sure if you can do this if you're a new seller though
Is there a specific reason why you don't want bidders? In my experience I've found that bidding can be better than a fixed price. Just wondering, not trying to challenge you.
and I sometimes make Best Offer option, good luck
There is really no reason why I want to do a Buy Now ... I guess I thought it would be better to list an item at the price I want to get paid for instead of having people bidding and not been happy with what the final bid is ... 
.... but I found out I need at least a feedback of 5 or be ID verify (wish u need to pay 5 bucks) to be able to have this option.... I only have 2
.... oh well ....thx girls

I had started selling too and I wasn't able to do ONLY a buy-it-now but I have 20 feedbacks (as a buyer only though). Maybe I did something wrong? For one particular bag, an Ebayer contacted me that she really wants it and would buy-it-now, and since I couldn't do it, I put the starting price the same as the buy-it-now. That way, why would anyone bid if it's the same as the buy-it-now. I know some of you more experience Ebayers is probably thinking that's so stupid, haha, but I didn't know how to put ONLY buy-it-now.
Excellent point! Then you don't have to worry about it selling for a price lower than you want.
I love BIN, it just is so hassle free. I usually look for items BIN, I think bidding becomes boring because you have to wait till the item ends. Sometimes it is better for sellers to list bidding option because I have found that items have ended with a higher price than BIN, some members get fixated with winning an item, even though they can get it BIN at less.

If you really want to BIN, maybe you can buy a few really cheap items to bid on and get feedback quickly. There is always something on ebay that you might need.
Otherwise, I agree...put a reserve price on it. I personally don't tend to take reserve prices seriously as a buyer unless I really want the item, but you never know. I also agree that I love BINs...I hate waiting as well.
I'm guessing to get around the requirement to have 20 feedbacks before you can use the Buy-it-Now ONLY option.
