Brian H (misunderestimated)After some bouncing around I determined how to use this option:
1. You go to Ebay fixed price sale. I used the Relist option for an item I that had not met my overly optimistic reserve because I could not access this option through Vendio, which I normally use to launch my auctions);
2. You select the "Best Offer" option along with a "Buy It Now" price; and
3. The item is then listed with a BIN as well as an option to submit a "Best Offer".
So far:
I received an offer which I reviewed (and which was time limited -- I had 2 days to respond) and politely objected.... There was space in the "accept/reject" email where I could have presumably counter-offered. The offer also provided information about the offeree (rating on Ebay etc.).
After I declined the offer the offer (along with my response) was then available through the "History" link as a bid would be at auction.
If you are interested this is the item's link:

Bill- If I am overstepping the spirit of thread to promot my item please feel free to delete... I will understand.
