Offerred an extra item, but confused

I bought several similar items from the same seller, and when they acknowledged receipt of my payment they said they'd got some more and asked if I'd be interested. I am, but don't really want to do anything of Ebay. Can I ask them to put the items on Ebay, and if so is there any way of ensuring no one else buys them?

    You could ask them to put them on Buy It Now and buy them straight away, organise a time or something.

    They will of course be more expensive. I buy some of my best bits from folk I have dealt with in the past off ebay. Carries a bit of a risk but can be worthwhile.
