If I buy a bin that doesn't have instant payment can somebody else buy it before I pay?

If I buy a bin that doesn't have instant payment and then win auctions from same seller, do all the items show up on the seller's sold list so they can be grouped together on one invoice?

Thank you

No. Once you’ve committed to buy it’s yours unless you don’t pay and the seller re-lists it.

Yes.

Fixed priced listings are available to all buyers until a payment is registered against the listing.

Good Luck Selling!

When a buyer hits buy it now and commits to buy that item is no longer available to purchase.

No.  If you have "committed to purchase", someone else cannot buy the item

If it is just in your cart (Add to cart) they CAN purchase it beause you have not commited to purchase.

That depends on the seller 🙂

But yes, generally, all items from one seller can be paid for at once.

Ask your seller about their combined shipping policy.

Thank you

So the Buy It Now button will still appear to other buyers while I'm trying to complete payment when the seller requires immediate payment? What happens if another buyer comes along and pays before I finish?
Even after you click the Buy It Now button to begin the payment process, the button will still appear when other buyers view the item. Only after your payment is confirmed will the listing end. Multiple buyers can be trying to pay at the same time, and whoever confirms their payment first will get the item.

Your question is a very good one.   Over the past year or so, ebay has made most items under $1000 immediate payment required even if not advertised or selected by the seller. 

There is no more "commit to buy and continure shopping with this seller".   You want it, you pay for it.  You can put these things in your cart, but a seller has no clue what is in there, and the buyer is still directed to pay for each item individually.   

With auctions, so long as you don't pay, and win a few from the same seller, that seller is able to send a combined invoice.   It has been a while, so I forget if any BIN listings can be included in that invoice.   Others will be by to give additonal information. 

This has been my observation of late, though ebay insists the whole cart business is fine and "working as intended".

That’s not what the OP is asking. He’s asking if he hits BIN and commits to buy where immediate payment is not required will it still be available for others to buy and the answer is NO. It will no longer be available for others to buy.

[justagirl12]

Not true. Seller decides if they want buy it now immediately or not. It’s the sellers choice in a fixed price listing...not eBay’s.

That's a very old page ... where did you dig it up 🙂

This piece:

Will all Buy It Now listings work this way?
No. There will be no change to Buy It Now listings unless the seller chooses to use this option in his or her listing.

eBay has been requiring Immediate payment on lots of BIN listings where the seller did NOT choose IPR.

This has been happening for a while

Also ... there would never need to be an Unpaid Item process or need to Cancel before payment for BIN sales if the item was not tied up when the buyer hit "Buy it Now".

The new Help says:

When you require immediate payment, the first person who selects Buy It Now and completes the PayPal transaction gets the item.

That has been my observation as well.  When it started to be rolled out, ebay said it was to cut down on Unpaid Items.  This happens even if the seller has selected "will combine" in their site preferences.  The effect has been buyers being directed to checkout, paying individually, and hoping the seller will refund excess shipping paid.

I have promotion manager specials running all the time where buyers get a 35% discount when they buy 10 or more items from multi variation listings.  These items are commonly purchase in quantities anyways, and in order to do this they have to use the add to cart button and continue shopping to amass the quantity needed for the discount.  We get orders every day in this fashion so it is still possible to use ther add to cart and continue shopping.

OP here.

Asked because we are selling a lot of 45's that can ship together as BINs and auctions on one id, and even with the BIG NOTE in listings about contacting us before buying, we're getting people buying multiple BINs and then asking if we would ship together and/or hold off shipping till they 'win some of the auctions' 

As you know in shipping bins we need a tracking number for each and we're not paying $2.66 times whatever to mail empty envelopes .  In 'hold till' we have one day handling so can't without pre-approval from ebay.

Only way we can figure out to get around this - if they contact up first -  is to turn off instant payment so BINs can be 'bought' and carted for later. And if they then show up as unpayed on the sold list - like an auction - they can be added to the invoice at a later time.

Other version of just about the same problem is we've been forced by shear volume to list basically the same items - radio station top 40 lists - on two ids.  Again have big note but still the same problem as above BUT this time people have figured out the two ID's are the same person and want EVERYTHING shipped together. Only way to do that still involves an empty 'tracking' envelope. 

If anybody has a better way ...

"Fixed priced listings are available to all buyers until a payment is registered against the listing."
Wrong.
"Buy it now" means they've agreed, or should I say, committed to buy it and that will either deduct from the available quantity on the listing or end the listing if it is the only one.
