That's all well and good if the request option is there, but the problem is there is NO option to request an invoice. It was gone for a few weeks, then came back for a few weeks, and the past week it has gone again. I have checked with my buyers that have bought multiple items and there is not option to request an invoice. I also got caught last week in buying multiple items - there is no option to request an invoice.
That looks a lot like A/B testing.
Run scenario A then tally results, run scenario B and see how that goes, wash, rinse, repeat.
After a while you'll have a dataset that tells you which scenario is better (criteria for "better" may be quite original).
My guess is that ebay are trying to figure out if the market will accept the instant payment regime on a permanent basis.
Instant payment is, after all, a good way to gouge extra fees without doing anything to earn them.
