Why - in the scheduled sale of a lens does it include a ' 5% off ' offer ?

Why - in the scheduled sale of a lens does it include a ' 5% off ' offer ? Which expires before the end of the auction.

There are many offers at different times from ebay and not all of them 'make sense'

Some are just outright errors , some are typo's , some are 'rolling discounts' where they did'nt bother to amend the close date

Does the item also have a buy it now price?
