Question:

If you have 10 widgets... and you want to list them via a Dutch Auction.. can you still use Buy it Now?

So.. Start the auction with 10. List a price of $7.99 buy it now.

If someone picks "buy it now", and wants one, will the auction stay alive with (9) items remaining?

And will it continue to count down until there are none left?

Help!

BIN is not available with Dutch Auctions.

"Buy It Now is not currently available for multiple item auctions."

No, the eBay Dutch auction format does not provide for an individual buy it now function.

The only real way to do what you want to do is to list the widget in your eBay store with a quantity availble of 10.

I have listed dutch auctions with a note in the description that buy it now is not available for Dutch BUT that I will end the auction early if the first bidder will give me a bid for the whole quanity.
