eBay is removing 'Buy It Now' and adding 'Add to Watchlist'

[kedziekoins]

eBay has been removing the 'Buy It Now' option from my listings - so that customers can only 'Add to Watchlist.'    This problem has been happening for over a year, and eBay offers no help or understanding.  Anyone know how to solve this issue?

What does it say when you click on the arrow next to add to watchlist?  Is buy it now an option?

This is what I see.  Wow--this is a problem!  I don't know who takes care of technical issues, so I can't tag anyone.  Have you posted this under technical issues?

That listing doesn't have "buy it now" available because it says the quantity is zero.

If you revise the listing and increase the quantity to show however many you have available, that should fix it.

@lacemaker3  What did you click on to see that?  I don't see that.

@evry1nositswindy, I have the URL bookmarked, and I just update the item # to show the item I want to see.

It's a very useful bookmark.

FYI, the listing appears to have been started with a quantity of zero. It has been revised quite a few times, but the quantity has never been updated. I suspect that this will be the case for all of OP's listings like this.

@lacemaker3 Thanks!  Learned something new today.  Perhaps @kedziekoins should do this for all of his/her listings.  Wouldn't seller hub > active listings show quantity as 0??

Here are some examples.  The listings have been ended & relisted.  However,  this is exactly how they appeared when they were active:

@kedziekoins,

The third item in that list had a quantity of one available, but since it has been ended, it's not possible to tell if it had a Buy It Now available or not.

The other 3 items have a quantity of zero, so they were out of stock when they were ended. The second one had a sale on July 7, 2021. The others don't appear to have had any sales.

None of these listings ever had the quantity revised, so they were started with the quantity of zero (except the third one, was started with quantity of one).

Here are the links to see this information (same listings in the same order as above):

Sorry, I should have said:

None of these listings ever had the quantity revised, so the first and fourth were started with the quantity of zero.

even better than that, there's an Out of Stock Filter.

Well, that third one in the list did have Buy It Now available on Jan 5, according to a google cached page:

I don't see a quantity line on that listing - is it possible that the template/sell similar used was for an MQ listing, and he's now doing a single listing, and it's getting confused?
