Auto-paying

[lvogtf]

I am a longtime seller on ebay and suddenly i'm often seeing something like this when someone wins one of my items: 

 

"Autopay at Jul 17 7:00pm PDT

The buyer wants to shop more, but they may check out early."

How can I disable this option? I can't wait a week to get paid! I need winners to pay asap...

This was something that eBay did a few months ago. I like it when I am bidding on several items as the buyer, but as the seller it kind of sucks. I had a guy rack up wins  around 30 of my auctions and then somehow he turned off the auto pay and never paid me. I am thinking it is so you can bundle items to ship, but if they aren't bidding on other items, it shouldn't be an option.

You need  to going into your buyer payment  preference    and click  opt out .

I think this is basically a scam on the part of the buyer. They click the button that says "I want to shop more" knowing that this will give them a total of 7-8 total days to pay. They have no intention of paying. Sorry to be so cynical but this has happened to me several times in the past few weeks with no payment after 8 days. I have one in the process right now. The item was sold on July 6 and the buyer has until July 14 to pay. I'm quite sure that just like all the others I will not get paid.

Not everything is a scam.  And this is not a scam.  It is an option buyers have when shopping auction style listings with a specific seller.  Often buyers what to try and win a few auctions from the same seller, not just one.

Most sellers of auctions WANT buyers to purchase multiple items.

A possible parallelism but  off topic

Wait 'til you retire and sign up with a Medicare Advantage insurance  program that you are locked into for 1 calendar year and your "in network"  provider(s)' decides to opt out  do to contract issues and only will provide services at the very much higher "out of  net work" rates mid year or will no longer offer the same program the next following  year and you have to go "shopping for  dresses" again at the end of the year during the sign up period for the  following year..  Life is not so much fun when it happens..  Had to deal with it over the last 15 years.  This and other '44 models  don't like changes either.  Life is just not  fair but ya' gotta' get used to it.

This is called the Gomer Pyle Sydrome in my book..

PS:.  Some day the  Detroit Lions will win a  Super Bowl Championship.  Last  NFL championship 1957 throttled the Cleveland Browns 59-14.  My wishing and a hoping >>.but those Murrffet  looking uniforms gotta' go.
