eBay has been removing the 'Buy It Now' option from my listings - so that customers can only 'Add to Watchlist.' This problem has been happening for over a year, and eBay offers no help or understanding. Anyone know how to solve this issue?

I just looked at 5 of your listings, they show BIN and offer. How many listings is this happening too? Sorry I can't help, but sometimes a little more information may help.

Thank you for checking. My solution is to end the listing and relist it. I've already done it to about 200+ listings over the past few months. Today I've found about 40 more listings. I am still going through my listings and will post an example here if I find more. Thank you

I looked through several pages of your listings and didn't see this issue.

I looked at a few of your listings as well. All have the "Buy it Now" and "Add to Watchlist" What I noticed is sometimes 'missing' is the "Make Offer" feature, but that is specifically on multi quantity available listings.

Here are some sample items. The listings have been ended & relisted. However, this is exactly how they appeared when they were active:

The active listings that have no Buy It Now button, are they out of stock?
Do you have an active listing now we can look at?

They were all active and in stock at the time.
Unfortunately, I have ended all of the listings with this problem and relisted them. I've had to do this to about 300+ listings over the past few months.

@kedziekoins, sorry, but obviously we need to be able to see this on ACTIVE listings to have any chance of trouble shooting it.

I understand. I sent the active ones to eBay but even they couldn't figure it out. I'm assuming the problem will affect my listings again in the near future. So hopefully I can send some examples then. Thank you

Basically, eBay seems to be treating your active listings like your completed listings - that's really strange. For a long time on the listing form I had no means of giving volume discounts - the function just wasn't there. It was impossible to explain to anyone until I took a screenshot of it. It finally cleared up when eBay updated the listing form.
When the glitch happens on an active listing, take a screenshot and upload it here, it may help.
