This was talked about recently, I sell a fair amount on eBay and use BIN with best offer for 99.9% of stuff I sell. The main reasons are;
Fees - they often do 80% off weekends.
Choice - when you get an offer you can decide whether to sell it to that person or not.
One downside is that when doing research through sold listings you can’t determine true value of stuff because it doesn’t display the actual selling price.
I think eBay want to be of a ‘shop window’ as you say but don’t want to lose their roots in auction action too.
