If a seller has listed an item at a price that wouldn't sell and then I noticed that item in their ebay store listed for a higher price, that would be the end of my dealings with that seller. It would raise many suspicions on my part...and we all know how easily fraud and scams are perpetrated on ebay

Hi dinosaur the store format is only a form of BIN listing and even on auction listings sellers often list a BIN price for those in a hurry alongside a lower starting auction start. No point in the BIN price being lower than the auction start price even for a store BIN item.

And how do you know it will not sell, you would be amazed at how an item can attract no interest for 3 listings running and all of a sudden two buyers fight over it. eBay may be live 24/7 but the buyer for your item may just be in for a browse occasionally.

So it's not a scam, Ms M is right as usual
