Want-it-Now

 

 

As a seller, you are entitled to define your terms of business and buyers who do not meet these conditions as they are detailed in the item listing are not allowed to bid for or to buy the item.

 

It is strictly against eBay policy for a buyer to make a bid when the main intention is to cause disruption to the item listing or the seller’s other listings.

 

Sellers are allowed to stop bids at any time before the listing ends and may cancel specific bids from members.

 

Here are a couple of examples illustrating how a buyer could fail to meet the seller's terms of business:-

 

  • The seller includes a condition on the listing that only buyers with positive feedback may bid, but the bidding buyer has a negative feedback record.

 

  • A buyer from outside the UK places a bid for an item that the seller states in the “Postage” section of their item listing will be posted only within the UK.

 

 

Here are a few examples of actions by buyers that would be considered “disruptive”:-

 

 

  • Placing bids on multiple items from a seller without having the genuine intention to complete the transaction.

 

  • Following being placed on the “blocked” list, a buyer attempts to bid for or buy an item from that seller

 

  • Placing a bid far in excess of the item’s value to deter other bidders, without having the intention to make good on the bid.
