What the -? eBay: "can't have Buy It Now and Best Offer enabled"

"It looks like there's a problem with this listing."
"Best Offer - An auction listing cannot have both Buy It Now and Best Offer enabled. Please choose only one of these options."

What the hell, eBay? That's practically the only scenario where it even makes sense to have a "best offer" option!

I think it has something to do with the fact that it's auction format (starting for $0.01). The "buy-it-now" option would typically disappear if someone bids, but eBay would typically allow the buy-it-now and make-offer options until that point. In some cases, eBay even enables the "make offer" option when the seller specifically left the option disabled. I even experienced a recent case where eBay allowed someone to "buy-it-now" when there were bids and there was no reserve price.

eBay is anything but consistent.
