I just tried to send a ‘Best Offer’ on a listing and it is forcing pre-authorisation on a saved card. This wasn’t the case yesterday and I have never been a non payer. Is this a new thing being rolled out to everyone?
It means you also can’t choose PayPal on a ‘Best Offer’ request anymore (well at least in my case lol)
Has this happened to anyone else?","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/50767025","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"thetreelogger"},"datePublished":"2023-08-11T13:44:21.000Z","text":"good. too many people making best offers and then not paying"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/50969866","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"tiggerloveslife"},"datePublished":"2023-09-12T11:53:58.000Z","text":"Hmmm....glad I've come across this discussion as thought I'd accidentally turned some best offer payment setting on on my ebay account & couldn't figure how to turn it off
Must admit it's really deterred me from making offers now especially on higher value items as what I usually do is either split the cost over 3 months using pay in 3 with PayPal or put them on interest free for 4 months with PayPal credit as I don't own a credit card & there seems to be absolutely no option to do this & it's pay in full outright "},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/50767001","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Daaru"},"datePublished":"2023-08-11T13:41:36.000Z","text":"Happened to me first time yesterday. Can't recall if there was a choice of payment options, but as the amount was over £100 I accepted the default to pay with credit card.
Received email:
\"You’ve selected (my credit card details) as your payment method for the offers and bids you make on eBay.\"
The offer was accepted and the next email:
\"Your order is confirmed. We’ll send an update when it’s on the way.\""},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/50767180","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Willy_Wonka"},"datePublished":"2023-08-11T14:11:00.000Z","text":"Are they offering a Paypal option?"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/50768859","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"CharlieCheeze"},"datePublished":"2023-08-11T18:20:42.000Z","text":"For a short time a few years ago, I remember the best offer feature left the listing live until payment was made. I wish they'd have kept that, as now I end up messaging first to ensure they are going to pay. No reply, it's declined.
PITA if you have something listed on an 80% , 70% or £1 offer and they don't pay."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/50768090","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"bozo007"},"datePublished":"2023-08-11T16:32:56.000Z","text":"Sellers do get an option to choose \"immediate payment\" on BIN listings, or where the offer automatically meets their minimum acceptance threshold.

I make all my ebay purchases through Complete Savings because I get 10% cashback. By submitting an offer and it automatically using my payment method without any further interaction means I won't be able to get the CS cashback. Does anyone know if this can be switched off?"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51664075","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"savedbythelamb"},"datePublished":"2023-12-04T18:17:15.000Z","text":"Well done eBay for destroying our cashback (and ability to use discount codes?) for such orders >.<
UPDATE:
You can put a code on the send offer pop up window I just found out talking to eBay. Cashback is indeed ruined - unless you want to go through the hassle of getting the seller to relist something with an agreed buy it now price. Then you will have time to go through a cashback site before the money goes out."}],"commentCount":25,"interactionStatistic":13,"articleSection":"Ask"}
