Hey eBay, where is the Immediate Payment button in the pricing/payment section when creating listings? Honestly, how does stuff like this keep happening? It's constantly update one thing, break another. Literally constantly. @ebay

I no longer have the immediate payment option in the drop down menu. It has simply disappeared.

Thank you for the detailed instructions. I have reported the glitch multiple times by using the ? on the listing page, but it hasn't been fixed. I only have BIN listings, so the auction part isn't an issue for me. When I list from scratch, or from sell similar, the immediate payment required option is simply missing from pricing options. I have 2 accounts, this error effects both. Today while I was revising some older listings eBay reverted my listings to immediate payment not required. Additionally, some (not all) of my listings that renew at 30 days are losing the Immediate payment required. I can go into the app and scroll to find each individual listing, then change them to immediate payment required under preferences, but that takes a long time.

Many of the people asking this question are unable to list due to the button. So let me answer differently.
A) Are you using Business Policies? If so, Immediate payment is not in your listing at all. It's in the Payment Policy
B) If you are not using Business Policies
- Try Bulk Edit to add IPR to all listings
1) Go to your active listings in Seller Hub: https://www.ebay.com/sh/lst/active
2) Check the box beside each listing you want to make a change to. (start with just 2 listings - later just pick them all)
3) Click "Edit Selected" from the drop-down list
Once Bulk Edit opens,
1) Select your items again, then
2) Bulk Edit
3) Payment <<==
4) Require Immediate Payment <<==
5) Apply
6) Submit All
7) Confirm and Submit
8 ) Done

Lastly, Have you checked your settings here:

same it just recently disappeared. I have to turn it on from my phone everytime I list an item.
12-10-2025 11:29 AM
Yes, they have turned a 1 second process into several minutes. Even my listings that are renewing at 30 days are being switched to immediate payment not required.
12-11-2025 03:13 PM
oh no I have to check mine now yikes. However I'm not going to manually redo all mine. I don't know why they have to mess with this stuff.

i too have this issue. Customer service added me to the list yesterday. it is ridiculous that Ebay has not resolved with Sellers reporting the problem weeks ago. I tried the suggestion solution above and it did not work.
12-12-2025 07:59 PM
How did you get customer service to add you to a list? I've reported online at least 20 times, but I haven't talked to a live rep.

Please everyone check. The Immediate Payment issue should be resolved.
12-24-2025 02:22 PM
It is still not resolved. The immediate payment required option is there for me, but it's still turning off with a new/renewed listing.
