Take a "buy it now "

I'm selling a top and a buyer has messaged me to ask to buy it now. I was going to say no as I had a bidder so morally I would feel obliged to the bidder - but realise the bidder is the person who has offered !

As I have a bid I can't add a buy it now. The bid is start price of £2.95 and I've been offered £12 as buyer is away when auction ends.

Any experts now the correct way to do this through Ebay ? Cheers ?

    You would have to cancel their bids and then add the buy it now price. Make sure you research to ensure this is a fair price for the item, often people ask to buy it now when they think it will be bidded high and want to get it cheap.

    That's great thanks -its a top I expected to reach £6 so amazed at the offer lol - somehow I'd rather just get the going rate !
