  • Select “Send” to Send Your Offer.  The seller will then be prompted to accept the offer, counter or decline;
  • If the seller accepts your offer follow the prompts to pay for your item, as described in How to Complete a Purchase Using the Messaging Feature below.

How to Search for Transaction Related Information in the Messaging Feature

How to Find the Current Offer in a Negotiation

In the Messaging feature, once negotiations have begun with a seller, you can easily find the most current offer.  To find the most current offer, select the blue “Click Here to See Current Offer” button to view details.

How to Purchase with Buy Now

To purchase a Buy Now item:

  • Select “Buy Now” if the button is enabled;
  • Confirm Offer Details (items included, price), your shipping address and payment details;
  • Enter Price in the Price input box;
  • Select “Purchase” to pay for the item.

 


Note: When viewing an item For Sale, you may see that a seller is Online and available for a video call.  Using the Video Call feature in this commercial context is a way to speak face-to-face with a seller, get to know a seller, view a products functionality, authenticate the item is what you want and more… before purchasing the item.


 

Whether you initiate a video call or not, items listed as “Buy Now”, are available to purchase immediately.  However, large items may not include shipping cost for the following reasons:

  • The seller doesn’t know at the time of listing where the item is going to be shipped, and therefore doesn’t know the shipping cost in advance.  Because of this scenario, someBuy Now items may require contacting the seller prior to making the purchase to discuss shipping method and cost from seller’s location to buyers;
  • The item(s) may be available only for local pick up from the seller.  In this case, you may contact the seller either before or after purchasing the items to discuss the details for local pick up.
