Quote:**Longer Buy It Now period Improving your chances of winning that item***
We're introducing a change to how Buy It Now (BIN) works within listings that offer both BIN and auction.
As you know, the BIN option automatically disappears from a listing when the first bid is placed. Recent research however suggests that keeping the BIN option available longer could increase your chances of winning the item.
Starting soon the BIN option will remain available until the bidding reaches 50% of the BIN amount. This will be worked out on the actual bids not the maximum bid as entered by a bidder.
