ya i ddint understand the purpose of it either.

does anyone know why this changed?

cause it wasnt always like this.

maybe people got pissed because they didnt BIN?

he doesn't have a reserve price. the BIN disappears right away when someone bids, no matter the amount. it only stays up as an option when you have a reserve price, and it isn't met.

^^^^ Clodmaxx has it right, not sure why ebay structured it that way, but I've used BIN after there were other bids on an item. Not sure that made me popular with the previous bidders, but it was a sure hit with the seller.

I guess in some cases it lets the seller get his reserve when otherwise he might not have been able to through bidding. Not every auction sets off a bidding frenzy as some seem to do.
