you mean more fees? you will prob. get more $$ selling bin because you will sell it at a higher price you can estimate your fees with this tool.

So as it seems that when ur setting the sell on Buy It Now the fees will be cheaper then selling on auction!! did i get it?

You should check out FT, SD, FWF, and see what the tolerance level is like over there. . .
Actually I am a big contributor to fwf,sd and I find them to be more tolerant. every newbie deserves a chance. I agree some ppl. do come here and are out of line...but no need to attack..

You're funny.  Those places don't even have tolerance for non-n00bs.

I see plenty of it there. Its not so much in the posts, but you will get heavy "red" if you post things that people don't like, or jut bec they are non-tolerant people.

N00bs get attitude on every forum.
Noobs get by on any forum.

FT is generally a pretty hostile place though.

I do hear you on that but in my experience it engages customer interest and if the item is sitting around you might want to move it(there can sometimes be a mutual offer to bypass ebay fees..still protected by paypal)not that it is allowed on ebay it is risky(as far as ebay getting upset) keep in mind they can monitor all your emails sent through them......

if you have two of the same items for $50 and he tries a best offer for $45 and gets turned down if he decides to buy full price he will usually go with the one he started negotiating with. And a lot of times they try the best offer cuz it's there but they don't mind paying full

I find it a total waste of time, with BIN. All I got was low ballers.

Besides for that, it shows you are open for a bargain - when you are really not

Definitely true. I just bought something yesterday, I was about to buy it for the price listed and then noticed the best offer option. Well after some good old Jewish bargaining and I paid 25% less.
