    What is this Autopay?
                     

    All of the sudden this week, I am getting a small blurb that the buyer has an autopay a week later and that they would like to shop more on ebay.  Is there a way to NOT allow them to bid on my items if they have that?  I have never seen this before.

    @bcre8tv     I just wanted to add that if you do NOT offer combined shipping in account settings then the normal payment preferences apply. 

     

    You can choose to require a payment method before the buyer places a bid and then the buyer will have one hour to change their payment method after the end of auction. 

     

    OR you can choose NOT to require a payment method before a buyer places a bid but offer combined shipping and handle the combined shipping manually.    

     

    "How do I enable combined shipping?

     

    To participate in this test, you’ll need to turn on combined shipping and also require buyers to provide a payment method before they place a bid. "

    No. You can't stop it from happening. Please read this info from the eBay Seller News team:

     

    > Exciting News for Auction Sellers Who Offer Combined Shipping 

     

    "When bidding in Auctions, buyers may choose to Shop and ship separately to have their payment process automatically 1 hour after winning an auction, or choose Shop more, ship together, to get up to 7 days to shop other items from the seller that qualify for combined shipping. With either option, buyers can still choose to check out manually at any time."

    "We are now testing this experience with a subset of buyers, and will continue to increase the audience over the next several months."


    "Stay tuned for updates on the timeline for reaching all buyers in 2025."
