    Yep... of course. If an auction is closed because of a winning bidder and the seller cancels/rejects that bid, the auction will automatically reopen.

    Please don't make it automatic. Give the seller the option to accept the BIN before the auction closes. Till then the Bid@BIN can appear as "Awaiting approval" or something and bidding still remains open.

    You want people to continue to bid even though someone bid at the BIN level? Why?

    If we are going to do that, why not allow people to make any bid they want (even if it's lower than other bids)?

    Someone BIN's it... The auction closes automatically..... I wake up after a few hours and winning bidder doesn't pay...by that time my thread is on page 3.....and I can't make another thread...and restarting bidding when my threads reached page 3 solves no purpose. In the sites section almost 60 threads are made daily so that's very much possible.

    Sure I can leave a -ve itader but can't sell the site any longer. How else can we solve this issue?

    How is that any different than it was before? Someone posts in your thread they want it for BIN, and no one else bids...

    Actually they do by posting things like "PM me if previous bidder doesn't pay" and I guess they can do the same now but the current system will make it look as if the sites been sold and payment received. A message like "Awaiting approval" next to the BIN bid will ensure that interested people still PM/post their interest rather than assuming that the deals done and moving on.

    Would be more inclined to just ban users that don't pay.

    What if the current highest bidder gets banned, what happens then? :)

    Then the seller can cancel the bid if they want (like any other bid). :)

    Would be simple enough to code a button that adds you to a "just in case" queue if the BIN bidder backs out.

    Users running auctions can edit their Buy It Now and Reserve Price after the fact now.

    If no bids have been made, they can raise or lower them. If bids have been made, they can only lower them.

    Buy It Now button should work for non-auctions no (assuming they have a BIN set of course).

    If you have your Google Analytics account linked to your Digital Point account and you are selling a site, you can choose a website profile to display data for by linking it to your auction. Obviously this feature only works in the Sites section.

    The data that is currently plotted on the chart is visitors and pageviews for the last year.

    I have a good idea.

    How about give the Seller an option to Say what payment methods they would accept as payment for their goods or site, and place it like by the Buy it now price?

    Letting People link the BIN button to their payment processor is already on his to do list.
    I thought that of all people at least you would know that. ;) :D :D

    Hi Shawn, really great improvement for the BST section here. And About BIN, I saw some people accidentally click the button, and could not edit/undo their choice, I do not know why they could accidentally click BIN button, might be they want to know more about the sale by clicking BIN button, then they could decide the Final Choice to BIN or Not, So like a two Steps for BIN.
