how to deal with 'buy-it-now' request?

I have just started selling a few things on Ebay and all is going quite well. Obviously I am quite an amateur though!
Had one item (a DVD boxset) for sale with auction due to finish Sunday. Starting price £1.99 plus p+p though I would expect to get at least £5. It has 9 watchers, but no bids yet.
Now someone has messaged me asking if I'd accept a buy-it-now price of £7 plus p+p from them. I'd be quite happy to accept this, but as I do not have a buy-it-now price listed, am I able to and how?
And if I am able to do this, is it a good idea?

Hi, I would do a bit of research first - is it a boxset that could be popular and hard to get hold of? It may be that it's worth more than you anticipate. I recently auctioned a Black Adder boxset starting at 99p and it went to Australia for a tidy sum. If there are 9 watchers then I expect it will be popular and you just might get more than the BIN offer.
Good luckI must remember that "Money Saving" is not buying heavily discounted items that I do not need. :hello:0
