Rediculous feature autopay

[zhross182012]

I hate autopay. I am buyer, I must choose payment method before placing bid or sending an offer. I understand, that I have only 1 !!!!!!!! hour after I won auction to change my payment method and pay how it at most convenient for me. What about "best offers"??????? I do not know, when seller is going to accept it. Ebay STOP notifying buyers that offer accepted, and just charging me even payment method REMOVED!!!!!!! That is rediculous. Ebay deprives buyers with their freedom to make own choice of payment method. In order to make sale convenient for the sellers, Ebay considers all buyers as the deceivers initially.

As a seller, I am thrilled with this change.  Imagine being on the other side of this transaction.  A seller sells an item or accepts an offer, waits the required 4 days for the buyer to pay, and then the buyer never pays.  In that period of time, someone else could have purchased it or a second chance offer could have been made.  It costs sellers both time and money.

Seller lost only time, no money, just relist item. I lost much more, ability to make my own choice how to pay, lost real money if charge exceeds limitation on my credit card, because I am unable to manage my payment. I cannot use payment by installment, I cannot split payment, I cannot use credit from Paypal. I cannot ask for combined shipping. 

If buyer never pay, you can leave "good" feedback for other sellers to know about non payer. If autopay charge will exceed limitation, to whom I need to leave negative feedback???? If I buy many items on Ebay, very hard to control which transaction can exceed limitation. Expecially, this feature is very annoying when you want to make a bid on auction, takes a lot of time to process this brainless request to choose payment method, if only couple min left to the end of auction, item can be missed.

That is what I did to avoid distress with autopay, I significantly reduced numbers of offers, and do not participate in many auctions as I had before. I am visiting and purchasing items on other marketplaces and auctions. I am not only one buyer who hate autopay, and I am sure, that many buyers will leave Ebay sooner or later. Leave all sellers very happy with autopay
