Item number: 305879433492

This item has 2 bids over the buy it now price, I notice they are both in other countries, is it possible that they dont see the buy it now option?  I am UK they are Denmark and Greece

There is no BIN price on your listing.     They disappear if someone places a (lower) bid first unless you also use a reserve.

When the first bid is placed the Buy it Now option disappears ,  no one bidding now can see that price.  The sale runs on in auction style now only,  in fairness to the other bidders.

It may well reach over the Buy it Now price.

Are you set to send items internationally?  Sending to Greece can incur long custom delays.

One if the problems with auction plus BIN, as the BIN price is not a reserve, and the usual complaint is that seller lists at 99p as suggested by ebay with a £50 BIN.

Ony one bid and BIN disappears, and sells at 99p. Unhappy seller.

Always best to start an auction at a price you are happy to sell at, a BIN can still be added but has to be a certain % above the start price. You are lucky getting a better price than expected.
