I've been noticing something weird with my ebay listings.... Last couple of months I have been throwing things up with BIN/BO strictly. Usually the day after listing a few BIN's are hit and a ton of BO's. I respond to the BO's and some take the counter offer.
Then...... for the next month all my listings fall into the black hole.....nothing, maybe 1 BO, but thats it...
Then when the BIN's come to the end of their 28 day life span I notice a few of the BIN's get hit (after sitting their for 4 weeks!). I guess people just look at auctions closing in the next 24 hrs? Why pay full price (BIN) when the auction is about to close? (I know they figure I will not respond to a BO in time). But it seems weird to me that an item sits on the shelf for a month and when its about to close it gets snapped up....
Then there is the other side to the story. Ebay automatically relists the items that did not sell. (They sat for 4 weeks with no interest). Then again within the first day of the re-listing, my BIN's are hit!
I guess most ebayers look at items closing and just listed and nothing in between. I am thinking about changing all my future BIN/BO to 28 day auctions rather than good till canceled....
Just another black hole story......
