Just wanted to point this wierdness out - maybe I am missing something.
I schedule from inventory most of the time using both auction and BIN prices.
Today - scheduled auctions selected from inventory that listed were ALL BIN ONLY! I checked the auction settings in the inventory data area and they had auctions and BIN prices set just as always.
Yesterday the same items listed just fine with both auction and BIN prices set.
Whoa.
So I go to make lemonade out of the lemon listings on ebay and when I increase the quantity to more than 1 per they charge me an ADDITIONAL .25 cents per listing. Maybe that is standard - but I didnt want BIN only anyway.
OK so im stuck with it - but I sure hope my listings tomarrow go ok. I checked all my settings and nada has changed. If I am missing something let me know.

Fixed Price is a Fixed Price Only but a regular auction can have a Buy It Now option.
I'm using the BIN 5 cent option more and more on regular auctions of fairly common auction goods. If the auction item has been historically selling for about $6 let's says then I'll put a $7.95 or $8.95 BIN price on the item with a $5 start bid. It's amazing how many impatient buyers hit the BIN button. Many sellers that list the same exact item at $5 get zero bids.
