I am trying out more "Buy it Now"s. A seller I know uses it all the time and has found that they get more sales this way. So, today I spent listing with alot of BINs. 5 minutes af ter listing I have someone asking if they can buy it now and pay on Nov 17. My terms state that payment must be received within 10 days of auction close. This is a few days over 10 days. Their feedback looks fine, just doesn't buy alot. Been with ebay for a few years. No negs

Thoughts?

November 17?

I would only do that for a regular customer.

Actually, I wouldn't do it at all since I require immediate payment on BINs.

But you do what you think best.

I'd politely reply to the effect if it's still available on or after Nov 17 they are welcome to buy-it-then

Good answer agitprop, I would never have thought about that! That is fair for everyone.

Do it. A sale's a sale. He/she gets product, you get money.

If the world ends before 11/17 you won't have to worry about the money anyway.

Stick with your payment terms.

I like agitprop advice, it you still have it they can buy it then.

I don't mind it if they at least give me a date. I have had quite a bit of that lately.

I just had someone email me a low-ball best offer on a postcard (not listed with a best offer BTW)AND ask if they could pay on December 1 as they had already gone through their ebay money for the month.

My answer? Not even going to dignify it with an answer.

"Sure, as long as you don't mind if I mail it on February 29, 2007. I've already gone through my postage budget until then."
