Hi, I love the Buy it Now option but would appreciate help on how to add it from AuctionWatch. It doesn't come up as a selection when I am entering info for an auction. Do you have to go through ebay or can you add it through Create Auction? Thanks! Any advice would be appreciated!

AW does not offer that option right now. But when you get your listing confirmation from e-Bay just hit revise on your listing page and then type it in. I do not know if the listing fee can be changed however. You may have to have the BIN price in the same fee range as the starting price. Maybe some one else can answer that one.

Yes, BIN listings are free. What I was referring to was that if you list an item for $9.00 and you put the BIN price at $18.00, you are jumping from a .25 listing fee to a .50 listing fee and consequently, e-Bay might not accept the BIN addition since the listing charge may not be able to be changed.

auntpink - were you suggesting that with the BIN option, e-Bay was only going to charge the final value fee and not the initial listing fee as well? Maybe when they do charge for the BIN option, there will be a new price structure but as of now, I doubt that they would be that fiscally stupid.

Oh, I see what you mean. I've been listing in one price range and offering a BIN in a higher range and have had no problems. I've sold quite a few that way too.
I really like the BIN feature but it is wearing me out. I feel that I no longer have any control at all. I get "I bought your item" messages any time of the day or night and I can't seem to keep much up for sale. At least I've quit complaining about slow sales..... for now.

I've been using BIN since the first day & frequently cross price ranges w/my BIN price but haven't seen any additional charge from ebay. If I list it at a starting price of $24.95 but a BIN of $35.00, my lising fee has been $.50.
