Mentor1 year ago@radroxxe You should be able to checkout earlier than the autopay states if you wish.
This is a setting on the sellers account that applies to all buyers, it's not just for you. A buyer can not turn off auto pay.
You should have seen a pop up before placing a bid asking you for your preferred payment method. If you see that pop up before bidding then you know that the seller requires immediate payment at close of auction.
Some sellers do not realize that eBay turns on the option to require a payment prior to making a bid or offer by default.
Sellers can uncheck the option in their account settings.
You could ask sellers prior to bidding if A ) they allow combined shipping and B) do they know if they have the payments required option before placing a bid auto checked by eBay as this makes combined shipping more difficult.
Sellers can still combine by refunding the difference but eBay can't force a seller to send a partial refund after a order is made. Most sellers will make a partial refund.
