Is it a new option for sellers or has it been available for a while?

i goggled it and it says:
This feature is optional on the seller side, but many sellers may not even be aware they have it turned on - eBay automatically opted all sellers in when they introduced it in 2021 and if a seller isn't aware of that, they may be losing sales and not know why.

also found this:
With the immediate payment option on eBay, a listing is still available until a buyer completes the purchase.
You can require immediate payment in both fixed price listings, as well as auction-style listings with a Buy It Now option. Here's how it works: Fixed price: When you require immediate payment in a fixed price listing, the first person who selects Buy It Now and completes checkout gets the item.

This has been the case for me for a couple years now.

I only just started seeing this feature as a buyer over the past month or so. I do a lot of eBay best offer submissions so noticed right away. I actually don�t mind it at all as a buyer, since the sale is completed as soon as the seller accepts. I also think it could result in getting my items shipped maybe a day earlier on average as a result. Time will tell if that pans out.

I used to encounter this very rarely, but in the past few weeks it seems like every single offer I make now requires this. I wonder if they changed the settings so that this now the default?

if they accept your offer its taken right out of your account right away ,,
