Ebay now AUTOPAYS when you win an item????
So Ebay has now moved to autopay if you win an item....so before you had a choice to use credit card, Paypal pay in 4, or even Paypal financing.....thats all gone. The Pay in 4 feature that Ebay had, through Paypal was great! No interest, no credit check, and it lets you spread it out over a few months. Why not use it....well no more! Now you have to pay everything up front so that high ticket item you had your eye on and wanted to take advantage of Pay in 4 to make it easier to swallow...well thats off the table. For me at least its another reason not to shop at Ebay anymore. Because the last item I won I would absolutely not have bought it if I knew Ebay was going to auto whack my Paypal account for it without any input from me. Another "improvement" from Ebay making the customer experience even worse that it already is! Selling on Ebay is bad enough...now buying is too! Great job Ebay team!

Yes, auto-pay for making offers and/or bidding severely limits the buyer choices for payments. It also disallows combined shipping for multiple items from the same seller. Since you also sell on this ID, you may wish to check yours:

Buyer Payment Requirements
*Require buyers to provide a payment method before they place a bid.
*Require buyers to provide a payment method before they make an offer.
Sellers that wish to encourage multiple sales, sell higher end items, may wish to reconsider the DEFAULT settings that eBay applied to their accounts.
