Buy-It-Now Question...

D. Bergin · #1 07-05-2021, 10:41 AM

Ebay has screwed with the shopping cart so much, the seller probably has some sort of default setting he doesn't even know he has.

Also, 3rd party shipping settings like Inkfrog, often clash with Ebay's shipping settings. I know some of my own listings don't combine as they are supposed to at the end of auctions, which is why I make it clear to try and wait until I send an amended invoice if you have won more then 1 item.

I don't even know if the few BIN listings I have are combining as they should.

Also, unrelated to this problem, but I can't count the number of times I tried to buy something from an overseas seller, that said they ship to The United States and to contact seller for shipping quote, and then I hit "Request Total", and Ebay refuses to send the message, insisting I have to change my shipping address to an address the seller sends to.

I have some people request totals all the time, and a few that do not have the button to make the request. I've seen screen shots of what they see. I have no idea why it's different for different buyers.

For whatever it�s worth, I have not found a work around and have had to do the same thing.

But when they requested a total from you, had they actually secured the purchase, or was it still floating in limbo? In other words, while the buyer was requesting a total, could someone have swooped in and bought it (and paid for it) and basically pulled the rug out from under the original buyer? That's the heart of the issue here. You used to be able to hit the BIN and the card was yours, even if you didn't immediately pay for it.

No, when you request a total you have to commit to buying them. So at that point, they're yours subject to paying the "totalled" invoice

When you hit the "request total" you are committing to buy and no one else can buy it.

Its the sellers option to list an item with "immediate payment" required.
