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

[raindropsies]

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.

yep me too

How can things be taken out of context when I clearly stated that I did only refund after 7 days if no other contact was made to verify the address. By verify I mean match payment processor and eBid.

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

I was referring to this post; should have included quote.

Well...Good morning everybody...here we go again...I just like to see this ''options'' in here ''"Seller requires immediate Payment’’ and if any Seller like to use it before finish own listing for any item use it, likes a sample shipping International ''no thanks'' or ''Chose International shipping''... ''Seller requires immediate Payment’’ just fill out and for any Seller if don't like this option don't use it....And If the buyer wanted to make multiple purchases, Ask Questions About This Auction...So Seller can answer for that Cleary and shipping discount for multiple purchase...simple as that...I personally don't use but as can I see many Buyers complain around for non paying Buyers, so this is going to help similar Sellers in here and is going to ''KEEP'' him in here and is not going to spread word about this site for this stuff or that stuff no good...we must to give many options for the Sellers in here because day to day many Sellers leave ''feebay'' and go around desperate to find any auction site to run Business, so if any auctions site don't give help and many options for like this Sellers many is going to back on ''feebay'' again and that's not good...In the end if any Seller don't like this option don't use it, if like use it....I mean this options must exist on the page for the payment likes I accept Pay Pal or money order, or cash etc....so click on the box ''yes'' or ''no'' and that's all...

Not that simple. ebid does not require immediate payment, it has no policy requiring that. if ebid adds a feature like turning on/turning off seller requires immediate payment, it goes against ebid rules. No other feature goes against ebid rules, this would be the first, so you can imagine that the issue/feature is pretty much dead. ebid wants to support sellers in every aspect of selling as long as what they ask does not violate ebid rules.

And it seems that people want it because buy in nows on feebay had that feature. Buyers did not particularly like, but had to use it. feebay policy and feature. on ebid it would be feature but not a policy. Slippery slope. If a buyer complained, would ebid have to stand behind you, even if it did not have the policy of immediately payment?

What next? You must ship immediately or else? Just like on feebay? Remember how much fun that was? PO closed for holiday, you did not mail it, opps, you get a negative, it was not mailed right away. No address, no way to find it, opps, another negative, it did not go into mail immediately, no excuses. Seller had 100 packages to mail, no excuse, mail ALL of them immediately or get negatives. Sell multiples? All go in same box and other auctions have to close? Have the feedback system ask each buyer if the item mailed "immediately". These buyers will answer no, because the auctions closed over a week or two period, and seller's feedback score falls. Very poor seller, mails "late" (or should request that buyer's lie about shipping time).

Lastly, use of this and any other site is a choice, not a desparate move because feebay dropped someone or the fees got too high. ebid does not have to cater to every whim of the sellers to keep them here, nor does it have to do the same for buyers. That was one of the big mistakes that feebay made. Cater to some (buyers), take away rights in others (sellers can't give negs), change rules on a whim, change them back, apply inconsistently, etc etc etc. This has weakened feebay to the point of dropping in its tracks, and we are demanding those very features now for ebid?????? Why? We are comfortable with them?

Well Girl you don't selling alone I this site and not are every Seller like you, I just try to explain for the Sellers who have non-paying Buyers I mean The Sellers who have sales 4 or 5 a sample in couple months only or The Sellers who are ''brand new'' and straight away have non-paying Buyer...because all this stuff is going to hurt this Auction site and many new Buyers spread word about it...We need to keep in here new Sellers for old Sellers one like many is not going anywhere anyway...I just try to help this Auction site and I have some of sales with non-paying buyers but no big deal for me , I have Buyers who buy and don't leave Feedback, but two important things for me I help this site and I going to list in here about minimum thousand my items or more in coming days but I buy from this site too for some of sellers for item which I like it this is going to help this site too in one way...and I always pay straight away I always if I sell send my item in next business day I always give discount for my items and I always can send to you any of my item whenever you like from Europe to Africa for cheap shipping and if any Buyer buy two or more my items I charge only for first item rest of my items 2 or a 100 I send for free...well this going to help this site too....in the end I just try to help...

I understand what you mean and we are really talking about same thing. Good customer service, being a good seller, helping ebid grow. Just because we disagree sometimes does not mean anything. We all want ebid to grow, and we all want to be good sellers. Bringing up all these different points of view helps ebid to decide if a change is needed. All of us have to keep doing that.

I just say put this options in....And I mean exactly if eBid can give options only on this way...''on payment section you have immediate payment requires so if any Seller like use it if not like don't use it'' so in the end for any Seller who don't use it this options look like don't exist simple as that...why worry...?
And by the way ''feebay'' losing sellers because of ''fees'' and this is about 90% sellers who left ''feebay'' exactly reason all other reasons is not much Sellers to left ''feebay''...''fees'' is only problem all other things likes:feedback,shipping,non-paying buyers...etc....no big deal for a 90% Sellers but ''feebay'' go for greed and that's it...if ''feebay'' left older prices before couple years for fees good knows what is going to happened this days....
