why does ebay not insist on instant payment on buy it now items

[Anonymous]

Recently I have had to chase up 2 buyers over unpaid items and I dont understand why this should be allowed to happen.

The listings are both buy it now listings and It becomes very frustrating for sellers to have to chase this sort of problem up.

If someone buys it now they should pay for it now - no exceptions.

Most people are instant payers and excellent ebay customers but 2 listings in a matter of days?????

There used to be an option of immediate payment required but that seems to have disapeared. It should be returned for sellers to use that option on their lstings.
