We keep getting this error on our listings:

If this item sells by a Best Offer, you will not be able to require immediate payment.

Is anyone else having this issue, is it slowing sales, is there a solution to this?

This occurs when trying to edit listings.

This is not an error, it's just an FYI message that has always been there. Actually, it is now out of date, because eBay has started to require buyers to pre-pay (or pre-authorize) payment when they make an offer. See the screenshot below, that offer for one of your items, can't be submitted without pre-paying for it.

This will probably reduce the number of offers that you get, and your sales, because many buyers will not prepay for items, and for many buyers, eBay has actually double-charged them because eBay has charged them again instead of proceeding with the pre-authorization. So you can expect that you will get fewer offers, and fewer sales as a result.

FYI, since I looked at that listing ...

I think the next step to open your puzzle box is to slide this piece out as shown below.

Then look for something at the other end of that piece that is now free to move once that piece is out of the way.

One thing with wooden puzzles, if it is very humid then they can swell and stick, so it's possible that parts that are supposed to move are swollen and sticking. Be careful not to force them, but try keeping it in a dry area for a few days, to let the pieces dry out and shrink.

This happened to me when I tried to list an item in Auction Format with the Allow Offers option. I changed it to still be in Auction Format but with a Buy It Now option. Seems eBay may only allow Offers with the Buy It Now format.
