Does eBid offers eBay style "Buyer requires immediate Payment"?

[DZAMBO]

Why is everything made so complicated on eBid

"Buyer requires immediate Payment" is a simple idea that works well for some sellers so let them that want to have it. If you don't want to use it then don't.

Yep...you are right....if any Seller likes use it if don't, just don't use....

Thanks Rainy. You answered one of my unanswered questions to support.......[how long should I wait for buyer to answer?]
I had considered the refund option...............sounds like an ok option.

The reason I say 7 days is because some people don't access their PC daily, and think over 7 days is too long to keep someone elses money, some may think 7 days is too long

the debate thats happening here really is about why it should be a OPTION only and the reasons for that ive found it quite informing !

yes 7 days is far too long unless im told otherwise by the buyer i intend and state next day posting

I post the next day (or same day if possible) if the address is straight forward (matches eBid and payment processor), I'm on about if the payment processor address and eBid address is not the same I send an email to the buyer requesting which address they want it posting to. The reasons I do that are
a) In case someones account has been hacked
b) To abide with payment processor rules
c) I don't want it going to a wrong address which the buyer has moved from but they forgot to change their address/es

agreed the example i gave at @47 was a brand new member to ebid so there address was up to date

''Girl'' did you know how many Sellers in here have non paying buyers...? A less we have a chance to stop non paying buyers a %100 and that's good for any auction site...and reputation too...it's like a Capitalist system and Communism system just throw out all bad things put in all good things for both system and you have a ''perfect'' system...

I disagee. I have daily sales and have a non payer every couple of months. That is not enough or me to worry about. Other sellers, especially new ones seem to have many non payers. Whether they are selected to get the sale w/ no pay because they are new, or if they push so hard to get the money fast that the buyer pulls out, I don't know. We don't have enough data to figure out why non pays happens. Seems to also depend on what they sell, depends on how they sell it. Lots of tuff rough sellers who make lots of demands on buyers, get more of them. Probably done to just poke them with a stick to get them irritated like kid will do to a grumpy toad!!!

Before we ask that features be added to fix "problems" we need to know how extensive the problems are.

And yes, they occur on other sites all the time. Especially since more shoppers are now going from site to site and not shopping only on one that knows them

I go with 1 day following cleared payment up to 3 days (if payment falls on non-postal/shipping day or holiday); and to a confirmed addy either thru PP or buyer for all the reasons specified by Rainy. This is listed clearly in my shipping policy on my About Me Page.
