Hello Marco,There's several threads from buyers about sellers requiring them to provide a payment method before making an offer so payment is automatically taken as soon as the offer is accepted.Can you clarify a few things please.
When a buyer makes several offers to the same seller and they're accepted, the payments are taken separately for each item straight away.It's not possible to combine them into one transaction or get a combined postage invoice.Can anything be done about this?If a buyer provides a payment method before making an offer is it a one time thing?Or does it get applied automatically to any subsequent offers the buyer makes without them needing to provide it again. If so can buyers opt out?Does it still apply if a seller, who's opted into wanting pre approved buyer payments, sends offers to their watchers?Do watchers who receive these offers from sellers have to provide a payment method before being able to accept an offer in their watch list?When will it be rolled it out to include auction bidders in the UK like on the ebay.com site?
Hi douglaspuglas, thanks for your post.
Regarding your first question, When a buyer makes several offers to the same seller and they're accepted, the payments are taken separately for each item straight away. The answer is yes, when you offer different amounts for different items to the same seller, all amounts will be charged separetly as they will go through in different transactions.
Regarding your question, It's not possible to combine them into one transaction or get a combined postage invoice.
Can anything be done about this? I wouldn't be able to confirm anything at the moment, but happy to pass your feedback on, so this can be taken into consideration for the future.
Regarding, If a buyer provides a payment method before making an offer is it a one time thing?
Or does it get applied automatically to any subsequent offers the buyer makes without them needing to provide it again. If so can buyers opt out? You will have to set it up once only, so this is not something you will have to do again after setting it up the first time.
Regarding, Does it still apply if a seller, who's opted into wanting pre approved buyer payments, sends offers to their watchers?
Do watchers who receive these offers from sellers have to provide a payment method before being able to accept an offer in their watch list? Yes, if the seller has that feature, the buyer will need to have it set up.
Regarding, when will it be rolled it out to include auction bidders in the UK like on the ebay.com site? I wouldn't have confirmation on this at the moment, but if this happen, it will be communicated to all users.
Thank you,
Marco
