topic Re: Problem with unwanted Buy It Now option in 'Auction' sale listing in Seller Central https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Seller-Central/Problem-with-unwanted-Buy-It-Now-option-in-Auction-sale-listing/m-p/7958313#M762223 I left for an evening out with family and friends shortly after making my original post, and we didn’t get home until the wee hours and then went pretty much straight to bed. So I have only just dropped back here to check in case anything useful had been added in the meantime, and thanks SO much for taking the time to respond  -  much appreciated . Just briefly first in answer to a cpl of questions in case it helps anyone coming along later: Cobwebcottage - no, ‘twasn’t the price-plus-buyer-protection boxes, yes it was the B.I.N. box below there that should either not have been there or have been blank and stayed that way.  Despite looking entirely random, the forced B.I.N. price is actually based on a system-review of same/similar items sold over a period X, and calculating from those sales an optimum B.I.N price for ‘your’ item (in that sales-price comparison panel I mentioned, I could click a button/arrow and it would extend downward to show the past sales it had found to use, and their achieved prices). From my researches, yes a lot of sellers have not been getting the true value of their items. Yes, that’s bad. Vyolla - no, I hadn’t submitted the listing and then attempted to delete the B.I.N.; didn’t want to invite the hassle of not being able to do so and maybe having a sharp-eyed buyer snaffle it for pennies and then need endless back-and-forth messaging and accusations and suspicions for days with them plus ebay plus everyone-else-and-his-wife in order to get things straightened out just to get back to square one! Quiet life, me. 5970andyl:  - thanks for chipping-in, and yes infuriating when a system gets ‘developed’ and the streamlining, even if well-intended, actually becomes gninilmaerts and knocks lumps out of everybody and everything until *The Way* gets clarified somehow but scatters casualties along the roadside until then. Which brings me to ... Vyolla: Massive thank you for lighting the way! I am so very grateful. I have just dummied-up a sale for a million widgets, and when actually looking for that Pricing Options menu over on the right ALL of the damn options were ‘helpfully’ preselected for me:  Autofill, B.I.N., Reserve Price, Best Offer, Scheduling, Sell As A Lot, Auto Relist, Private Listing. Note for ebay designers:  That’s genuinely a great facility to have, but only if it is clearly present so maybe put the “See pricing options” button alongside the “Pricing” heading instead of level with it but waaaaaay over on the far side when everything else actually follows-on downward - including the people filling out the form. That was a bad idea. Need proof? You are reading it!! Anyway ... Vyolla, special thanks for sharing your knowledge, you are a Star. When I slid all the sliders to ‘off’, the listing form snapped a little smaller as the effect of all those selected options disappeared where visually present, including the B.I.N fluff. I am assuming that that will have fixed my issue (and perhaps dodged others for me too, thanks!) but I have to make a Sunday visit now and can’t double check with a first for-real listing just to nail the lid on. I can’t see why it all shouldn’t be fine now however, but as a precaution I’m not marking the problem solved just in case ebay has some other trick up its sleeve as a result ...  I’ll start getting my new listings together after lunch when I will be back, and will confirm then that all is now okay for the benefit of later-others, and mark it Solved. Cheers!,Vyollin, an aspiring Vyolla  Sun, 16 Nov 2025 10:48:31 GMT goc5 2025-11-16T10:48:31Z
