merckx Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 When you click on "Buy It Now" the auction will end. It's got to end as someone else might try to buy it. If he's worried that you won't pay up then he can relist it for free if you back out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 I suppose if it's not actually a Buy It Now auction then I can understand them wanting the money up front. Maybe just give them enough to cover relisting if you're not happy giving them the money without closure of auction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
far Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 im pretty sure there is an option to end the listing early and offer the item directly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
