This.
I regularly buy on eBay and decided to sell a number of old hand tools. I have sold before, but not for a while. I put the the first tool as an auction to get the hang again, then waited 10 days for something to happen. During that time I purchased several items using buy it now and realised that I now AVOID auctions unless the items is particularly rare or special.
The BIN selling options interface seems to vary significantly depending on how you crate the listing: starting on somebody else's items and clicking "sell one like this" or creating a new listing from scratch, for instance.
But, yeah, I'm converted to Buy It Now as a buyer and a seller.
