commit to buy

What is this Ebay con, whereby you click on an item and it automatically says you have committed to buy evem though you have not gone to the checkout basket, or given the opportunity to emove said item from baskek? The help says you can cancel within an hour, which I did after 10 mins and it said too late.

if you click 'buy it now' you have committed to buy the item

if you are not sure whether you want to buy it, don't use the 'buy it now' use the 'add to basket'

My message to Ebay on this issue is as follows;
The problem with the simple ‘Buy it Now’ notice is that it heads up the page and is very bold. It does not have a warning notice to alert you that you are entering into a contract, simply as it is not an auction and you have not entered your CC details to complete any transaction, therefore believe you cannot be committed. This is not an auction of an item but a shopping item of low value.

I think the Ebay listings of such are completely misleading and should cease immediately.

What did you think BUY IT NOW meant?

Which of those three words was misleading to you?

If you click Buy Now then to me it's obvious....you are committing to do just that & BUY
