Buy-It-Now Question...

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.
