They're not fickle they're biased towards dealers/flippers.
I submitted an extremely nice one owner early 911 (for a customer) and BaT insisted on setting an absurdly low reserve. I declined then ran an experiment. Contacted a flipper and had them submit the car. They got a realistic reserve and the car immediately accepted. I pulled it and it sold the next day for more than asking price.
I've also caught a vendor selling stolen items and called them out on it. BaT removed the post as "non constructive" while allowing some egotist in the peanut gallery to say "nothing to see here, bid with confidence".
These are the type of people you're dealing with.
