With the cost of listing a Buy it Now for any length being the same, why might some sellers choose to run for less than the maximum 30 days?

Not necessarily, but there is a strange 'thing' where often the BINs with less time to run get higher visibility, whether it is a glitch or not I do not know.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

I'm studying very closely a competitor who comes up very high on searches, and they use quite a lot of 10 days BINs.
Tried it, didn't work for me though

that's interesting. I've today listed 2 30 day BINs and one sold in 2 hours and I had a best offer (haha) on the other one.
Whereas a BIN on my other account has sat there and then was bought today on day 29. :undecided0
