As far as I know, and in the auctions where a seller has added a BIN for me, it's not against the rules - how else could the seller have added it!??!?! I'm not quite clear how it circumvents fees...I suppose some idiot could have come along and outbid my quite handsome offer that the seller was satisfiied with...

What? It's a BIN!??! How is that outside the process?
I just don't 'get' you guys, and obviously you guys don't 'get' those of us who 'get' resourcefulness and communications skills.
Frankly, it sounds like sour grapes.
