I have a buyer who has offered a buy it now price below my starting auction price. How can I accept

I have a buyer who has offered a buy it now price below my starting auction price. How can I accept this sale. I tried to revise the auction price but it still stays as an auction for the 5 or 7 days.

If I drop the auction price enough to accept the new buy it now, I run the risk of someone bidding on the new low auction price before my buyer accepts the Buy it now price?

End the listing and relist as a buy now only listing if you can not put the auction start price and the buy now price the same.

And why would that matter?   Someone buys it at the price you are willing to sell.

You should be able to add buy it now to any item that hasn't already got bids.    If they already have bids, why would you want to accept a lower buy it now price?

As someone famously said .... please explain?   It might be a bit early for me

If I wished to sell to the buyer, I would drop the auction price to the agreed price giving the buyer a specific time and one hour timeslot for them to bid (so there was reduced chance of someone else bidding AND so buyer would act ASAP) and then when they had bid, I would end the auction in the buyers favour.

You just go to end listing, and there is an option to sell to the highest bidder

Add a 'Make An Offer' feature to the listing & leave the current price as it is.

You can't add make an offer to an auction listing.

If you don't have a store, and you have used up your free listings for the month - its $1.50 to relist the item, so personally I would adjust the existing listing to make the sale.
