If you have a straight auction with a BIN then the BIN will disappear as soon as someone places a bid.
The only time this does not happen is where the auction also has a reserve price and the bid does not meet that reserve price. In those cases as soon as a bid goes in that is capable of winning the auction, ie it is more than the reserve, then that BIN will disappear as well.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.

If BIN is still there after a bid it means the item has a reserve price that has not been met. Once the reserve is met then the BIN will disappear.
I think it is pointless starting an auction at 99p and having a BIN of say £100. If using BIN's startauction at minimum you are prepared to accept so for example start price £80; BIN £100.
Anything else and the BIN is a waste of money.
If I'm really bored I will bid on a 99p item just to remove a BIN.0 -
Some sellers put a BIN of £100 or over just to mask the bidders user IDs without going for a private auction which looks dodgy.0
