Buy It Now seems to still be a problem. It is always one of three scenarios.
1. The auction remains in Active Auctions, and needs to have the counter reset. This will move it to Post Sale, but sometimes it doesn't send the WBN.
2. The item moves to Post Sale and The WBN isn't sent.
3. The Auction moves to Post Sale, and the WBN is sent late (24-48 hours after the auction has closed).
I would like to see WBN's sent immediately, but would be happy if they were sent within an hour or two after the auction has been closed with the Buy It Now feature. This has been a problem since the beginning of time, and it would be nice to get it resolved once and for all.

Hi rustygumbo,
Due to the nature of BIN auctions, AW is not notified when an auction is ended early on eBay. This is why the BIN auctions may not appear in the closed section until the original closing date.
We have implemented a new Mail Relay program that will help in the identification of auctions ending early. This is an optional feature.
