I'm confused with eBay Buy it Now

[iamtrout]

Isn't there a type of listing that's a mix of Buy-it-Now and auction format?

Like the auction starts off, but there's always a Buy-it-Now option regardless of if there are bids.

That way people can bid bid bid, but if someone feels like it they can just Buy-it-Now and not have the hassle of trying to win the auction.

Some are buy it now until someone bids on the item, and then BIN is null and void.

I coulda sworn there was a mixed type of listing...

There is, but it goes away once the reserve is met, or if there is no reserve then the buy it now goes away once a bid is placed.

there are reserve auctions that have a buy-it-now if the reserve isn't met. once it's met, however, buy-it-now is removed.

qurazyquisp put it nicely.

The BIN feature is there until the BIN price is reached by a bidder. If it goes above that price then it will disappear.
