I bid on another sellers 7 day eBay auction last week against 10 other bidders.I placed my bid 1/2 way through the auction,and days later I was still the winner.As soon as it ended,a big clock on top of the closed auction page starting clicking down from 60 minutes telling me that automatic payment would kick in after 60min,or I can click this button next to it and pay right now,which I did.
This was kind of a slap in the face to me,as I always pay pronto.I could understand if only newly signed up bidders see this automatic pay,but not 25 year veteran bidders with a 100% rating.
Googled "ebay automatic payment" and read many upset with it too since mid 2023.They say only the seller can request automatic payment,and bidder has no recourse.This is my first time encountering it.
Mitch,where do you see the automatic payment stated during any of Jasons auctions?..I just want to know what to look for in the future.
