Alter listing to BIN only

I listed a couple of things last night on an auction with a Buy It Now option. No one has bid on them and there are no watchers yet. Does anyone know if I can now alter it so that it is just Buy It Now with no auction option. I have been in to revise the item and I dont seem to be able to alter it in this way. Thanks for any assistance.

    Kinda... add the 'buy it now' price in and raise the start bid to the same amount as the 'buy it now' price....

    Go into revise auction, click on revise catagory, there should be a back button on the page now if you click that you should be on a page where you can change the listing format.

    You could be right, can't see the option to do it now, I was sure I had.
  • I do believe that you cannot change to a BIN once you have listed it, but you can add a bin to your sale.
  • you can add a bin and change the start price to the same so it wont go for less than that, but if the auction is new you should give it a chance and it will get views soon have patience! (i am just as bad but fail to listen to my own advice)

  • The only way to change it to BIN only is to end the auction and relist, which would mean paying the listing fees again, so the best thing to do (as others have mentioned) if you wnt a BIN sale is add BIN to your auction and raise the start price to the same or very close to the BIN price.
