Thats always been there! So no its not new

I'd never understood why someone would do a BIN and not pay immediately if paypal is an option until I bought and paid for something and sent the seller a message asking them to delay dispatch as I would be away for a few days.

They didn't acknowledge the message and sent the item whilst I was away,

So today, I have, for the first time bought on a BIN and am delaying payment for two days to ensure that I'm back before they ship the item.

With immediate payment you can just back out of that menu and pay later- it will be in your ebay, but someone else might buy it, same as if you leave something in your basket on any other site- it aint yours until you pay, I don't really see the problem. It is of course easier to buy everything and pay in one block, but it's hardly a huge deal.

But that doesnt count as a buying contract. Its as if it was in your watched items

It is yes, but if you didn't notice the immediate payment and wanted to pay later then you can without having to click through again.

Obviously as well if you really disliked immediate payment and didn't notice then you could delete it from the my ebay page and not be under any obligation at all.

So you can back out of which page ??
-1. Review
-2. Payment
-3. Confirm

At which point does someone buy the item ??

Is this change clear to everyone on ebay, no it's not !!

I've always seen that as well when I have used BIN with immediate payment required , I'm getting confused about what it is we don't like now
