Why is my Buy it now price not showing?

[rjon8548]

I have set up an auction with a buy it now option.  I have checked the listing and despite the buy it now price showing in my lisitjng it is not showing on advertisment.  Any ideas?

once as bid is placed the BIN goes.

you've had a bid

Adding a buy it now to an auction style listing is an offer to the first bidder to buy at that price,

if they chose not to they place a bid and the buy it now is removed and the auction begins,

that is how it works.
