3 day auction listed Monday evening around 6:30. Bidder places bid on item about 3 hours later. Then emails me yesterday wanting to make sure the size is correct.

Item was listed for $29.99, BIN $34.99.

Now she emails me and wants to know if she can just Buy it Now for $29.99 since nobody else has bid.

The audacity of stupidity.

I should also add... she placed 4 bids too.

Ok, this is getting out of hand and I am just going to start ignoring her questions and maybe even withdraw her bid and block her. Keep in mind, she emailed me after she placed 4 bids on the item and she is now pricing the item at $29.00, not her bid of $29.99.

Starting price: $29.99/BIN $34.99
------------

Here are her questions:

Tues 10:10 PM:
Can I buy this now for $29.99 since I'm the only bidder?

My Response Wed 8:30 AM:

No, because the auction has not ended. Other bidders can still bid on it. I did offer a buy it now price of $34.99 on the auction, but this option went away after you placed a regular bid. If you wish to purchase it outright, you will have to withdraw your bid and then use the Buy It Now option.

Wed 12:04 PM:

I am still waiting to hear from you about purchasing this jersey for $29.00. Please let me know, before you sell out of them. I definitely want it.

My Response Wed 2:03 PM:

Hello. I did respond earlier today. We offered this item with a buy it now for $34.99 when it was listed, however when you placed your bid eBay automatically removed the Buy It Now option and made this listing a true auction. If you wish to purchase this item as a buy it now for $34.99, you will have to remove your bids from the listing and then use the Buy It Now option that should reappear. This is the only way to buy it now.

My Response 2:30 PM:

Hello. I am sorry, but this item is considered an auction now and the highest bidder will win once the auction has ended. If you wish to purchase it for the original Buy It Now, you can do so by removing the 4 bids you placed on the item and then using the Buy It Now option that will reappear after you have removed your other bids. If someone else bids on the item, it will continue as an auction and nothing can be done to bring the Buy It Now option back. Thank you for your question.

-----------

I'm done with this.
