I agree with that, but why does eBay make it so easy for them to do that? They don't charge that much for BIN listings and let them keep them up forever for very little money. You would think eBay would discourage these BINs and get back to auctions so that they can capture that revenue of the % of the sale.

I again say it is because they "look better" by having so many "current listings".
