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

Have you tried clearing cookies or using a different browser?

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

clearing the cookies and logging back in didn't work...I will try a different browser later - thanks

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.
