Sounds right to me. It appears that you had two bids ($12 and $13) which is just fine - listing stays up until someone either's hits BUY IT NOW, listing ends, or for some reason someone bids $24 (with or without hitting BUY IT NOW). Prior to your listing ending - you had another person select BUY IT NOW for $24 which immediately ended your listing. Sounds right to me.

Not true vpnavy. As far as I've ever known and experienced as a seller, once a bid is put up, the BIN option is no longer an option.

IOW- The Buy It Now price is available only until someone bids on the item.

That being said, There are 4 categories the buy it now stays until the price reaches 50% of the bin price, they are:

tickets


cell phones


clothing


parts and accessories(ebay motors)


Buy it now also stays when a reserve is used and not met and disappears when met.

Unless there is a reserve higher than the maximum amount bid.

Thanks! So it was because it was in clothing! I did not know that, I thought that the buy it now went away after the first bid.

Now there is a feature where someone can make an offer on an auction listing without the seller setting a BIN price
