This has been an ongoing problem for the past several years. It seems that at least once a month, someone makes a BIN purchase and when I look for the item so I can ship it, I see that it was sold already, usually in the past few months.
I had one customer buy 4 large lots of 70's football cards. Everything went well with the transaction. A month later, I sold 2 lots of 70's fb cards, only to find that 2 of them were from the 4 lots that I had sold previously. I checked my listings, and all 4 of the lots were still listed. So, I ended the listings. A week later, I sold another lot, only to find that it had already been sold in the original group of 4. I again checked my inventory and found that all 4 of those sold lots were listed for a 3rd time.
I haven't contacted eBay, because they wouldn't have a clue about fixing it. Back when I would only have a couple of hundred items listed, I would go through the listings every couple of months and verify my inventory, but now, with 5000 listings, I can't do that.
So, I don't know why eBay is relisting BIN's that are sold, paid for, and shipped.
