Is anyone finding that their listings with IPR (with BIN) are defaulting back to not requiring immediate payment?

No. I haven't noticed that. All my listings are BIN with IPR, no offers accepted, and I always get payment at the same time as the sale.

Same here. I just did a test where I created a new listing from scratch (I usually use "Sell Similar") and the new listing still showed IPR for BIN.

The funny thing is that although all the listings started as BIN / IPR, random ones changed to not being IPR. And whether I relist or sell similar, it doesn’t seem to matter.

Mine have. I just completed some drafts that were based off "sell similar" that had IPR and I had to make sure to check the IPR box as it was not checked. Seriously, why would Ebay not want IPR? They don't make $ if the buyer doesn't pay and sellers only pay invoices monthly...

Yay!! (Not yay that you are finding this PITA issue but that I'm not the only one!)

Hi, hoping this is the right place for this. I just had an international buyer purchase an item of mine, but I forgot that I set it to "no international buyers" (or whatever the option is). Now the buyer is receiving an error message reading "the seller didn't include shipping costs to your location. Please contact the seller or change your address." Is there any way I can resolve this issue without having to relist the item and have her buy it again? (I have no reason to believe that the buyer is trying to scam me, she sent me a screenshot of her payment screen).

I believe you can send her an invoice with the shipping costs added.
 
Hi, does anyone know how to view running balance on PayPal now?
They don't make it easy.

Summary > Activity > Statements > Download Detailed Statements > Custom > Activity Download

Choose transaction type, date range, and format. Choose CSV or TAB format if you want to include the running balance. A report that you can download will be generated.

I don't know if this can be done on a mobile device.

Thank you. I don't think I can do it on mobile because it doesn't even give me option for statements after I get to activity.

I'll try on a PC. Why make it so difficult?
 
I have a listing which is local pick up only as the item is bulky. I have un-ticked the option of "immediately payment required". Yesterday a buyer tried to buy it but they were required to pay immediately. I have double checked that the option is definitely un-checked. So I called eBay this morning and they said if it's BIN they have to pay immediately. So what's the point of having the option to opt-out "immediately payment required"??? Also in the payment options, I am able to select "cash on delivery" but I am forced to select PayPal as well. I thought eBay no longer force PayPal as mandatory? So confused!
