Perhaps this is not the right place to ask this, but I've wondered about the differences in EBay selling. For instance, if there is a "BIN or Best Offer", can you offer less than the BIN? Why not just have regular bidding in that case?

I received this Ranch bag yesterday. The seller didn't post a good creed picture so I took a chance and lucked out! (Posted a picture of it below.) Dimensions check out and are: 11.5'' x 9'' x 3.75'' The leather is so smoochy and lovely, I don't think I'll be able to flip this one! I'm pretty sure it's okay, but some confirmation would be lovely along with when it was probably made.

Best offer means you can offer less than the BIN. Some sellers have their listings set up to automatically accept offers over a certain amount or automatically decline offers over a certain amount. I think that sometimes the ebay listing process automatically checks the best offer box so some sellers don't know their listings are set to best offer.

Best offer or BIN works better than auctions in some cases. The buyer might not find the auction or remember to bid before it ends. The seller can leave a BIN listing up for 30 days or more until they find the right buyer. They can consider each offer and decide if they want to sell to that person. They can change the amount they will accept as time goes on. They might end up with a bigger offer than they expected, and they can always lower the price later if they don't get any offers. Usually BINs are better for higher priced items.

On the ebay forum, an informal survey showed that most buyers prefer BINs. Buyers don't have to wait to see if they are going to win an auction; they can buy it immediately.

Ebay's fees often influence what kind of listing a seller does.

Interesting. Good to know I won't offend someone if I offer less than the BIN.
