Yes, Buy It Now auctions can't be added using the Add Auction functionality if the auction has ended. Does this mean they need to be manually reported each time they are missed?

it looks that way
some of the BIN's are coming up as "no bids" and need to be manually changed to "sold" using the old tracker

Thanks for the ebay numbers. I have resolved the issue. I was triggering recording on the number of bids with the reserve met. But in these auctions don't have bids.

So does this mean I should be able to use the Add Auction button to add Buy It Now auctions after they have completed, or does it just mean they should be auto-tracked now?

Yes and yes. Things are only auto-tracked if they have been entered into the system by a human.

so has the Buy-It-Now bug been resolved? Seems like it's been going on for a long time! :?

I still can't add completed Buy It Now listings using the Add Auction button.

It's showing the "Buy It Now" price instead of the "Best Offer" price.

That one was already in
http://www.expressobeans.com/show.php?id=1276&view=4
When it is already recorded it does not do a good job of letting you know that.

However, that one reveals a bigger problem. Here is what eBay sent us about that auction.

I checked before I tried to record it, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't there. The price is incorrect, as it sold for the "Best Offer" price of $170, and not the BIN price of $250.

The BIN price above should be set to 0, as BIN was not used. However, eBay is not including the "best offer" price. Right?
