What Determines if I Can Use the "Buy Now" Option with My Offer?
All of the following must be true for the "Buy Now" option to be available when you're checking out:
- The seller has enabled "Buy Now" in their booth.
- You're offering the full price (after pre-set discounts, such as combined pricing discounts, combined shipping discounts, and Bonanzas) for the items, or more than the full price.
- You're in the U.S., and so is the seller. Since pre-set fees for international shipping are not yet setup, this allows the seller to verify that the offer could be shipped at the price given.
- Your item can be purchased with Google Checkout or Paypal. For seller's protection, we don't allow "Buy now" to be used with cash or money order, since "Buy now" will immediately mark your items as sold and taken them out of your booth, which is generally not what you want a buyer to be able to do without any real assurance they'll pay.
If any of the above are not true, you will be given the option to "Propose an Offer," which the seller must agree to before you can buy their items.
