Buy it now or make an offer

[rw190269]

If I list an item as " Buy it now or make an offer", can buyers still make an offer AFTER someone else has bid? Or does the item automatically become an auction once a BID is placed, with no "buy it now" option?

Thanks.

If you mean buy it now on an auction item

Once there is a bid then the buy it now disappears

It costs 50p to add that so best start at a price you are willing to accept

If you list as a buy it now then there would be no bids as it is not an auction

They can make offers until the item sells or you accept an offer

Senior moment, that is what I meant, but you have answered perfectly, thanks.

You are very welcome.

Perhaps it is because I am senior I understood your question.

Why not list as an Auction with best offer. Frequently the offers made are ABOVE the start price. Offers on an Auction do not have to be below the start price, and you can set to automatically reject silly low offers. With a BIN no one will offer more than the BIN price as they could buy straight away.
