I'm fairly new to ebay and have an auction that I started at $250
with a Buy It Now for $250.

??????

Then the one bid would have BIN.

Sorry, typo. My BIN was $350, the min bid was $250. 2 people bid so
far
and it's presently around $260 but the first bidder wants me to end
the
auction early and let them pay the $350.

Then tell them to go ahead and bid $350, and if that's enough to
outbid the others interested in it, they'll win. If it's not, you'll
win.


They emailed me and CLAIM that they need it sooner than the end of the
auction. I don't know if I buy that. Why didn't they just use BIN before
then?
