Adding to Catbird's reply,
To add immediate payment required to all your BIN listings you can use the bulk editor.
Go to your selling page & tick the box next to each item you want to update,
At the top select "edit" and then select the "payment" section.
Select add IPR to ALL and go through the save processes.

The only benefit I know is when you sell lower priced items; buyers can add several to their cart & pay all at one time and/or if you offer a shipping discount for multiple purchases.

Actually I think they can still add items to their cart and pay at once. They might not get the shipping discount though, if that is something you'll need to invoice for. I've removed the IPR from listings if the need arises.

I think that if the buyer doesn't have an ebay account, like one of those newbies where ebay creates the account on the fly, has to pay immediately even if you don't have the box checked, because the account doesn't get created until they purchase and pay.

I believe you're right..
I was confusing actually buying (locking the item in from others) with the cart..
Thanks :smile:

They have 2 days to pay, then you can open an Unpaid Item case.
There is no benefit that I can imagine from not requiring immediate payment on BIN.
The check box to require immediate payment is located on the listing form under "Select how you'll be paid." (I don't know if it's the same -- or even available -- on the eBay app.)

It's been a while since I posted anything for sell on eBay, I'm using the BIN listing but want to put immediate payment required. I don't see the option to click that anymore. Can someone tell me how to select this or do I go in my settings? Thank you

It's right under where you input your paypal address in the Payment Options section. That is below the price and above your return preferences.

When you are creating a listing? Are you referring to this section?View attachment 3510137

Grrrrr! I realize there was an option to switch back to the old form but too late now because I've already listed everything and I cannot be changed. They do not have IPR on this newer form. I called eBay but I guess there's not a way to fix it at this time and I'm certainly not relating 20 items. They said they've had other people calling to complain about this and I'll be fixing it by the beginning of December.

I'm sorry. Have you tried opening your listing on a desktop, or just not in the app, and see if you can see the box? Most people pay right away so hopefully it won't be a problem for you.

Yes I tried both, when I tried to change the format it takes me to starting a new listing. Thanks for responding though.

Interesting.
I wonder if you can do it using the bulk editor, in a browser (not the app).
Go to your selling page & tick the box next to each item you want to update, then click the Edit button at the bottom.
Again tick the items you want to change. At the top pull down the "edit fields" menu and select the "payment information" section.
Select "Require immediate payment with Buy It Now - Add to all" and save.

You can do it in Bulk Editor..
Selling page, tick all the boxes you wish to edit, select edit.
Select the payment info, add IPR to ALL then go through the save processes.

ETA: Sorry Catbird.. I should've read the entire thread.. :blush:

You ladies rock, it worked! Thank you.

I have another question what is the limit for signature confirmation? I cannot seem to find it on eBay website and I've searched and searched using the words and still cannot find anything.

FFS! Some stupid buyer just bought one of my items and 5 mins late messaged me saying wanting to cancel. My question is "is there still a difference between I cancel v.s. buyer cancel?" I remember before if seller cancel, it impact the seller stats or something. Is it still the case? To be honest I don't see why I should initiate the cancellation. If she wants to cancel, she can go and bloody do it!
Thank you for your help in advance!
