In one of the other discussions it was explained that it can be used for either one. Looking them both up in this dictionary http://www.morfix.co.il/en/ it sounds like בבקשה can mean "certainly!" and אין בעד מה is like "Don't mention it" or "It was nothing" so you can see how either could be used for "you're welcome" :)
It is the french equivalent of : "il n'y a pas de quoi", there is nothing to thank me for. literally: There is not of What... Another way to say: you are welcome...

You can copy and paste here, for a recording of the pronunciation.
It sounds like beh-odd to me.
this must be a "saying" in Israel, as word for word, this makes no sense, especially if you are trying to say you are welcome! My class before and now my translator tell me that "you are welcome" is "בבקשה". I need some explanation for understanding of your answer.

What? I got an error, and it say that the write sentence is: אין בעד מה לילה טוב .. it is right?
I HAVE HEARD OF THIS FORM BUT IT SHOULD BE THE POSH LANGUAGE. IN USUAL CASE YOU SAY בבקשה,לילה טוב OR בכיף לילה טוב EVEN IF THAT MEANS WITH PLEASURE
