Can the Buy-now price be adjusted once a bid (under the reserve price) has been made?This caught me out and I have a very upset prospective buyer. Nothing in the set up stage to warn sellers about this. Unscrupulous buyer asks for buy now when the auction is in progress. Must be a common ruse!The buy now price isn't showing on my listing that the public see, but is showing on my view. Why is this and how do I fix it? People are wanting a buy now which I would be happy with.Lynda, it probably means it has a bid above reserve, ie it's going to sell. I can look at my listings that have met reserve and can see the original start pricing including the Buy Now, but buyers can't of course. Once any auction has reached reserve the Buy Now option is no longer available.Thanks for the explanation! It makes sense because I think this is the first time I have put up a listing that wasn't higher than the start price. I know for the future. Regards!This caught me out too. I listed with a buy now and no reserve hoping that someone would see the value in the buy now. Ive got people asking about the buy now and its gone because someone has bid $1. Trademe really should be clearer with this for sellers.Andrew, the Help pages are quite clear, but it can take a bit to get your head around *hidden *reserves.* Buy Now is available until the reserve is met – after that, buyers need to bid until the auction ends.This is a truly moronic setting. There is nothing wrong with somebody swooping in and buying. If a bidder wants it badly, they should be able to use buy now even if the reserve has been met.This really sucks! Buy now should be available even after the reserve price is met. I don't see any reason to hide it. It is bad for buyers, sellers and trade me. If the bidders are bidding around $100 and someone wants it urgently and is happy to pay buy now of say $300, why would you prevent this?Dejan It's pretty obvious why it is like it is. Are you telling me that if you were the lead bidder on that item and were prepared to go to $600. You might even have had a $600 autobid locked in. Then someone comes along, asks for a buynow of $300 and the seller says yep, I'll sell it to you, too bad about Dejan you would honestly be happy with that?
