On a cell phone I was selling (item 303162506193), a bid was placed for
$150 then 3 hours later someone was able to select Buy It Now for $220.
How can this happen? BIN is supposed to go away once the current bid
price is over 50%.
Just spoke with an ebay customer service rep about this for 15 minutes -
she explained that there is a 30% above starting price threshold that
has to be reached before BIN goes away. First I've seen or heard of
that.
Same thing happened to me on a cell phone I was selling (item
303162506193) - bid was placed for $150 then 3 hours later someone was
able to select Buy It Now for $220. **bleep** ebay.
