@Eric Lyon and others...
Would like to chime in on these "bin might be added later" and "PM me your bin" during active live auctions. This isn't the first time I've seen confusion with this and it creates problems for active bidders. In short it becomes a waist of our time when the domain is sold out from under everyone bidding per say.
My suggestion would be to require a bin at the start of the live auction, or make it a no bin auction. If you want to run a PM bin auction only fine but don't allow live bidding.
Even if it's left in its normal state a buyer can PM the seller, workout a deal, seller lists bin and buyer would post sold before other active bidders have a chance to see the new added bin. Due to this, being a global community time zones become an issue therefore many would not see the bin until it's too late.
This is merely a suggestion to avoid confusion, like what happened here for example:

The fix is simple IMO, put a bin at the start or make it a no bin auction and only live bidding.
I personally will no longer bid on a NP auction that has any print that says "bin to be added later", "might add bin later, "to early for bin right now", or "PM me a bin" when live bidding is taking place by multiple members.
I understand Eric is doing all he can to correct these type issues but the way to correct it is to not allow it but would love to hear other insight on how to make this better if at all possible.
I've presented my suggestions in short, TY..
