I’ve been using eBay on and off for a while, but not very often. This is the first time I’ve run into this situation. I was about to bid on an item, but the seller states that bidders need to “enable auto payment” or they will cancel the order even if you win. I checked my payment settings, and aside from adding a preferred payment method(Which I have BTW), I can’t find any option to enable auto payment.

From what I’ve read, it seems like auto payment is something the seller sets when listing the item?
I’m a bit confused. I also live on a different continent from the seller, so the auction will end quite late at night for me, and I may not be able to pay immediately.
Am I missing something here?
