Immediate Payment for Buy It Now?
Imagine my surprise after waiting two days so far for someone to pay after I accepted their best offer when I looked and saw that there is no box for "Immediate Payment after an Offer is Accepted". Is this something only offered as a buyer and has just been talked about to sellers?
I actually don't remember what I've read. This is the downside to reading so many of these posts lol. Anyways, if it's not a real thing, it should be. I had an item at auction starting at $110. After a few weeks, I accepted an offer of $107.50. Two days later, I'm still waiting for payment. It seems if I have to remove something from view by accepting someone's offer, shouldn't they be expected to pay right away? Otherwise, it's like I'm just holding it for them, but with no deposit.
If I'm looking at this incorrectly, someone please realign me .
Thanks for reading.

Here is the link you're looking for. >> Buyer Management | eBay
ETA: Account Settings/Selling Preferences/Your Buyers/Managing who can buy from you... then Edit and Submit.

OP2 years agoI'm sorry to be a pain, but there is nothing on my Buyer Management page to choose regarding the immediate payment required. Just a box saying that a buyer must have a payment method provided before making an offer.

The IPR is at the bottom of the individual listing.

OP2 years agoActually if you have the box checked and there is an offer and acceptance and IPR is checked then the auto-pay kicks in once the agreement is reached. .
But where is the IPR box?

·2 years agoObviously paying as quickly as possible is the right thing to do but in emails to buyers and their published policy Ebay tells them to pay within four days.
"When you buy an item on eBay, whether you won an auction or used Buy It Now, you'll need to pay the seller within 4 days." https://www.ebay.com/help/buying/paying-items/paying-items?id=4009

·2 years agoIf you send an offer to a buyer and they accept then Immediate Payment isn't required. It's kind of silly actually. It would be easy enough to make it required (if you already had IPR enabled). The item should just stay active until they pay and if someone else comes along and buys it well, whoever paid up gets the item.

OP2 years agoI didn't send an offer to them.
I accepted their offer.
However, I don't see anything to check a box for immediate payment.

·2 years agoIt is the same when you accept an offer from a buyer and it is still ridiculous that eBay programmers don't know how to set it so the listing is still active until it is actually paid for.

·2 years agoIn order for your buyers to pay immediately when you accept their offer you need to have that requirement checked in your buyer requirement page.
