Cannot get rid of buy it now option in a draft

So what has changed?

I often will use a past sold item completed listing to create 'sell similar' or 'relist' and then save it as a draft which I can then edit and use to list another similar item in the future.

If, in the past, the original order was listed/made on a 'buy it now' basis I could change the draft to an auction option  instead and then delete the buy it now price - . The draft listing would then automatically add an 'offers' option and I could choose that if wanted and then schedule the listing as an auction.

This is now not happening. Now I delete the buy it now price, set the auction price, no 'offer' option appears and when I save the draft the original buy it now price that I deleted has been automatically re-instated ...

 

So, a live example  - A Beatles Help LP, sold on a buy it now recently for £28. I now have another Help LP (slightly different version) to sell so, as I have done for ages,  I got to the first order, choose 'relist' , save it for later.

Then when I am ready I open the new draft (app or PC), complete the changes to the description details and then want to schedule this new one to run as a 10 day auction starting at £12.50. So, I choose auction option, change it to 10 days from the drop down , add £12.50 into the starting bid; I then delete the £28 BIN price - now, unlike past examples, no 'offers' option appears for me to choose/set and when I click away or save the draft the £28 BIN price reappears!  - why? It just will not permanently delete  - Why can I no longer use this method, and , is there a way around it?

 

my screenshot shows re-opened draft after initially deleting and saving the draft (buy it now has miracuoulsy reappeared)

(this has happened on several other items too)

Any help greatly appreciated

No, I haven't  - I will give it a go (although there has never been an issue previously and this seems to happen on the app too) - Thanks

Re: Cannot get rid of buy it now option in a draft

I had the same problem today - if you click on "See pricing options" which is to the right hand side of the "PRICING" section when drafting a listing, you can de-select the option for buy it now.

 

It worked for me and I didnt have to change browsers etc.

 

If you want a buy it now option on future listings you can simply enable that option again.

 

I hope that helps.
