BIN Best Offer

When a BIN automatically renews, does eBay add the Best Offer to the item? 

I choose not to have it on many of my BIN because I get such ridiculous low ball offers. Some are 75% off the listed price. I feel the prices of my things are not that out of line that I need the Best Offer tag. Some I just can't take less for because by the time I pay fees, etc, I am in the hole! LOL 

Is there a way to shut off the Best Offer "thing"?

Yes, eBay has been known to add the "best offer feature" even when you don't select it yourself.  eBay will send a message with the 'good news' that your listing can now accept offers, even if you did not select to use that function at all.  

Of course, you can revise the listings, but there is a good chance eBay will put it back on your listing in a day or so anyway.  If you are having this problem with fixed price listings that 'roll over' automatically, perhaps eBay has made it a default setting.  Or a default for some?  or it is just your lucky day that eBay is (not) helping you so much?

When you relist and don't revise before you hit the list button, everything you had in the original listing will be in the relisted listing as well.

Yes, uncheck the Best Offer box before relisting.

And you can bulk edit your listing to remove the buy it now from all of them. 

 

You can set up parameters on your Buy it Now offers that will accept a certain amount and decline a certain amount as well. 

 

Some have argued that receiving any offers (including low ball offers) helps your activity within the Ebay Algorithm. 

 

Good luck and Happy New Year

I am not relisting the items or revising them. They are automatically renewed by eBay. I understand how it works if I am relisting or revising and I do uncheck it if I am controlling the listing. I am asking if eBay adds it when the item automatically relists by eBay.

Yes, I understand that, however, my question is, does eBay add it when after 30 days and eBay automatically renews the listing, do they add the Best Offer to the listing.

Not that i am aware of not excluding an occasional Ebay glitch of course.
