Make Offer not fair on payment time
As a Seller, a while back I started to notice that some buyers when making an offer no longer had the option to wait and pay but now if the offer was accepted their payment method would be charged and I would be paid right away. A few months ago, as a Buyer, I started seeing this when I made an offer myself. I no longer had the "luxury" of having 4 days to change my mind before being charged. This was happening on all my offers. I called to see if I had done something wrong for this to have started. I was told that it was a new policy being implemented and everyone soon would no longer have the 4 days and would have to pay right away. So here it is many months (1 year?) later and still there are offers still being allowed the 4 days. I just received an offer from a member that just signed up today and they have the 4 days to pay????? Why, if this new policy of paying right away is supposed to be implemented on everyone is it not being implemented on new members? Why am I, a Buyer and Seller for 9 years not being given the "luxury" of having a 4 day grace period apposed to a new member??? Either make it the same for everyone one way or the other. This is frustrating and extremely unfair. Different rules for different members is not what I signed up for and if someone could point me in the direction of where it states that the service I use and pay for may hold me to different rules and policies of others on the same service then I will eat crow but I highly doubt it states this anywhere.

·3 years agoMake an offer, and be given 4 days to change your mind is exactly what eBay is trying to get away from !!!!
As a seller you have the option to "opt out" so that buyers are not required to pay immediately.
You should "opt out" so that when you accept an offer,and your listing is immediately no longer there for other buyers to see, that buyer can just wander off leaving you with "no sale".

·3 years agoThat 'process' is still in "test" phase. So, it's far from 'across the board'.
