You have bids so it would be a very poor sellin practice to withdraw now.

 

Your bidders are bidding in good faith with the reasonable expectation that you will fulfil your obligations.

 

People asking for BIN are usually hoping to get the item for less than they think it might reach at auction.

 

Invite them to bid with the otheres, if they really want the item they will bid. If they don't, you will know they are just timewasters trying to get something on the cheap.

I forgot to say that they may be trying to do an "off eBay" deal which is strictly not allowed.

 

Also, do NOT accept Paypal as it is most unsafe. As it's a listed in a Motors category, you can insist on Cash on Collection and it must be IN PERSON. Do not allow them to send a courier or "a mate with a van". You would have no proof of delivery and they could claim Item Not Received or claim fraudulent use of their card and do a Paypal charge back. In that case, you would lose your item and your money.

Once the bidding has started you can't revise your listing and offer a buy it now.

 

You should let your acution run its full course and sell to the highest bidder.

 

Invite the person asking for a buy it now to make a bid along with the rest.

 

Most people asking for a buy it now at the start of an auction are after buying it cheaper before the price start to go up.
