It's for Buy It Now only.

From eBay:
Fixed Price Format
When you list an item with the Fixed Price format:

Buyers can purchase your item or items without waiting, at the price you set.
You can also choose to accept Best Offers from buyers (example: Buy It Now $10,000 "or Best Offer").
There is no bidding and no auction-style listing -- you're just offering one or more items for sale at a Buy It Now price.
If you qualify, you can sell multiple identical items in one listing.
Buyers will find your listing in category browse pages and search results, highlighted with the Buy It Now icon.
Insertion and Final Value fees apply.

Note: You must have a feedback rating of 10 or more (or be ID Verified) to list your item in a Fixed Price listing with a quantity of one. To create a Fixed Price listing with a quantity of two or more, you must have a feedback rating of 30 or more and be a registered user for at least 14 days (or be ID Verified).

From this link Fixed Price limitations

Limitations

To create a Fixed Price listing with a quantity of one, you must have a feedback rating of 10 or more (or be ID Verified). If you have a PayPal account and accept PayPal as a payment method on the listing, your feedback rating only needs to be 5 or more.
To create a Fixed Price listing with a quantity of two or more, you must have a feedback rating of 30 or more and be a registered user for at least 14 days (or be ID Verified). If you have a PayPal account and accept PayPal as a payment method on the listing, your feedback rating only needs to be 15 or more.

If you don't meet the feedback requirements, you can be ID Verified. The requirements are here and they say it takes 10 minutes to complete. eBay ID Verify

Thanks!

I've been waiting for this. The current listing fees are just a bit ridiculous.
