See when I have an auction with bidding and a buy it now button, does the buy it now button get removed when bidding goes to half the amount of the buy it now?

Its just Im having trouble with a buyer and hoped you guys could clear this up for me.

    Once a bid is placed on an auction the BIN disapears. Thats why sometimes you will get someone bidding really early in order to remove the BIN option LINK HERE

    Thanks a lot, its just a buyer has sent me a really nasty email accusing me of lying when I told him it was removed when bids start. :(

    Sounds a good reason to add that person to your blocked bidders list asap

    Send that to them, see if it shuts them up. Except cyberbob beat me to it... I really should read other posts properly, shouldn't I?!

    Anyway, so this post isn't totally pointless, I agree with the above poster- I'd definitely be inclined to block this bidder.
