Requiring immediate payment for offers

[huronchick]

Is there a way to require immediate payment in order to accept an offer? I have my listings set up this way but haven’t found a way to change it on offers. So sick of people accepting offers and then never paying, and having to wait until day 5 to cancel the order.

If you mean to accept an offer that you send, that has been experimental since this past Fall.  There was an announcement that might or might not mean that it is in place now for all sellers--eBay tends to be too vague about such things nowadays.  Here is the link to the announcement:   https://www.ebay.com/sellercenter/resources/seller-updates/2024-winter/protections#reduce-unpaid-ite...

Thank you, will this only work if the buyer is sending an offer, or will it also work if I as the seller send an offer to watchers?

Thank you, that’s what I was trying to figure out. Agree with you that right now it’s kind of vague. I haven’t seen any option to require payment to accept a seller offer yet. Coming very soon to all sellers hopefully.
