I found this...

Immediate payment is sometimes required by sellers to make sure an item is paid for before they ship it.

To use immediate payment, you need to:

Pay for the item before you win it.

Pay with PayPal using a credit card, bank card, or PayPal account.

Be aware that another member could win the item first by paying first.

To purchase an item using immediate payment:

Look for items that have an immediate payment required link below the Buy It Now price in the listing.

Click the Buy It Now button. You may need to sign in.

Click the Commit to buy button.

Review the total cost of the item, and then click the Pay now button.

After you see the message confirming your payment, the item is yours.

For items that require immediate payment and have both a starting bid price and a Buy It Now price, the Buy It Now price disappears when a bid is placed.

How immediate payment works

If you list your item with a fixed price, you can require a buyer who clicks the Buy It Now button to pay you immediately using PayPal. If you require immediate payment, the item remains available for purchase until a buyer has completed a PayPal payment, or until the listing expires. The first buyer who clicks Buy It Now and completes their PayPal payment officially wins your item. Once a buyer completes the payment, the listing ends and we let you know where you send the item.

Immediate payment is useful if you're selling a time-sensitive item (for example, concert tickets), and you want to make sure the listing remains available until the transaction is successfully completed. To require immediate payment, you must meet certain requirements and the listing must include any related costs, so your buyer knows exactly how much to pay.

Note: If you have an auction-style listing, both the Buy It Now button and the immediate payment requirement disappear once a bid is placed (or, if you list with a reserve price, once a bid meets your reserve price). In that case, the listing becomes a regular auction-style listing, with the item going to the highest bidder.

Here are some things to remember about requiring immediate payment:

You can use the immediate payment feature with fixed price or auction-style listings as long as you include a Buy It Now price.

Listings with the immediate payment feature must offer PayPal as the only payment method. This includes auction-style listings that end with a high bidder.

If the listing reaches its ending time before any buyer has completed payment, then no one wins the item and you can relist it.

You can't require immediate payment for the full cost of Motors vehicles listings, but you can require immediate payment of the deposit.

How to require immediate payment in your listing

To add an immediate payment requirement to your listing:

List your item with a Buy It Now option.

In the Decide how you'd like to be paid section of the listing form, select the option to Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy It Now.

Complete your listing.

Thanks johnl, grantro and BBK! ^ ^ If I only did this in the first place! ^ ^ Keep on Pl

Thank You Olimpass

for the info. Yes i did fine what i was looking for.It was under how you want payment..Under add or remove tab....Mikey

Glad to help Mikey.

Obviously I wasn't thinking correctly. With buy it now, the first one who pays for it wins it. ....removing foot from mouth...lol. DOH

Did eBay remove the requirement that you must have an eBay Store to list a BIN item and require immediate payment?

I have tried that before (not recently) and that was the message that popped up when I tried to require immediate payment when listing an item with BIN ??

Thanks
