what was ebay's thought behind....(two part question)

what was ebay's thought behind NOT making sellers easily found in the advanced search engine? wouldn't you WANT your sellers to be easily found?

you could always locate a seller in the advanced search feature but that became unavailable a few years back

why?

2nd ?

i thought ebay was going to FINALLY MANDATE when a buyer accepts an offer be it one you made or one they requested that it would not negate the immediate payment due option. if you do not have that selected upon listing than yes the buyer can take 5 days to pay but when it's selected it shouldn't cancel it.

personally i rarely accept offers. my work around is, if i receive an offer i change the price to match that offer telling the buyer to refresh the page to purchase it at the agreed upon price or at the price they want (& the immediate payment option is not cancelled). if they opt not to buy i can leave it or change it.

if you have a very popular item with heavy traffic in views & watchers (although most watchers today are window shoppers & fellow sellers)  & you send an offer to those watching (none of whom you can see & so you roll the dice having either a great buyer or a scammer or maybe not so much a scammer but someone who really isn't sure) & when that offer is accepted they now have 5 days to pay taking that very popular item off the market. personally i do not like removing a popular item unless i know i can mandate payment due upon purchase because ebay allows far too much freedom to walk away without purchasing.

The option for using Advanced Search for finding the listings of a specific seller is right where it always was:

Currently only some buyers are subject to the requirement to provide a payment method when making an offer. Until eBay expands the program to all buyers and all offers, a seller has no way of knowing if a particular buyer is subject to that requirement or not, so any offer could still potentially result in a non-payment.
