Thanks, John. Didn’t know that even existed. Eliminates all those with opening bids equal to Buy It Now prices.

According to chatgpt, which made an educated guess: about 3–6% of all eBay baseball card listings are true auctions starting at $0.99 or less.

I used to like Ebay better when it was a dedicated auction site.

PSA itself is actually running a lot of true auctions now (or, technically, people keeping their cards in the PSA vault and choosing to sell their cards at auction through the PSA account). I just won a T205 Joss PSA 3 last night in one.

I found this from 2013 on the interwebs :
"Auction site eBay isn't really much of an auction site anymore. This month, a study from the National Bureau of Economic Research reveals that less than 15 percent of all eBay listings are auction-only. Today, the majority of sales are made with eBay's "Buy It Now" option -- that is, buying it for a listed price like one does on Amazon or any other e-commerce site. This is down from nearly 100 percent 10 years ago." |

There is a ton of "Live Auctions" on ebay but I don't think many are selling vintage when I have checked. With these auctions it appears the timer is around 15 seconds and resets with each bid. Just click the ebay live auction ( red ) on the left side of the page.

I sell a decent amount on Ebay and list a mix of auctions and BIN. Frequently when I list "auction style" Ebay charges a listing fee which it does not for a BIN listing.
