Subject: Immediate Payment Bypassed / Sudden Spike in "Awaiting Payment" OrdersIs anyone else experiencing a sudden glitch with immediate payment requirements being bypassed on offers and Buy It Now listings?I have all of my account settings strictly configured to require immediate payment. My Buyer Requirements are checked to force buyers to provide a payment method before placing an offer, and my listings are set correctly. I haven't had a single "Awaiting Payment" order sit in limbo for months.Suddenly, between yesterday and today, it has happened 4 to 5 times. Half of my recent orders are now stuck waiting for payment, taking my inventory off the market. I have double-checked all of my backend settings and everything is correct on my end. This seems to be a major sitewide technical glitch. Please look into this!
