"immediate payment required"

[pats_treasures]

I want to make my listings "immediate payment required" eBay tell me I can only do this if my listings are "Buy it Now" My listings are all auction. Is this correct.? I had it in the past but removed it and now want to reinstate it. Thank you for looking and any advice which is much appreciated. Patricia.

Only for buy it now listings or auction-style listings with a Buy It Now option

There's no way they could enforce immediate payment on auctions. In case you don't understand how immediate payment works, the buyer can't actually 'buy' the goods unless they pay for them. They can click on the buy-it-now button but if they don't pay for them immediately then the items are still available for others to buy. There's no way they could get auctions to work that way.
