It is still in the testing phase. So some buyers are in the test and some are not. It will be this way until Ebay is ready to take it site wide. I suspect or at least I hope that will be in the next couple of months as we enter the Holiday season.
Your title says that automatic payment[s] on offers [are] not always working. Which caused my response because not all buyers are required to make an auto payment method on offers. Only some buyers that are in the test program. So not all offers will come with automated payments.
So for some buyers you will get an auto payment, for other buyers you won't. You can't tell what it will be until you accept the offer and you get an immediate payment. If that happens, the buyer is in the Test. If you don't, the buyer is not in the Test as this is NOT a site wide thing yet. They are still testing it.
There was nothing off topic or wrong with what I stated. You may not have liked the post, however that doesn't change it. However it appears I did mis-state part of it, it does not appear to be a test any longer and sellers can now make this setting in their Site Preferences then Buyer requirements.
It also isn't necessary to be rude to each other because you don't like a post.

They are guessing at that happening, they don't know it is happening. It is unlikely to be true otherwise we would see this same problem happening on listings with IPR and just regular transactions. Ebay does verify the funding source and always has since they started MP. If the buyer's payment fails, so does the transaction.
Again, EXCELLENT information.
Now if you would, go back and look at my post just a couple up thread. Have you looked at your Buyer Requirements lately? There are a couple new things on there.
That’s not true it tells you before you accept the offer here’s a shot of what it looks like. In this case i still haven’t been paid. I accepted another like it earlier that day and got paid in less than a minute.

No that is not accurate. The payment gets approved or declined in moments. The payment doesn't clear for 24 to 48 hours. Usually closer to the 24 side. It has been this way for years and it works this way for all merchants. There is no credit card or debit card payment that is instant on the internet or B&M. But the approval for the charge happens in a blink of an eye. Then the merchant has to process the transaction to get the actual cash.
