Buy Now vs. making an offer
When to buy instantly at asking price versus negotiating an offer.
Buy Now purchases the item immediately at the seller's full asking price — cash only, no negotiating. It's the fastest way to lock in an item you want. Make Offer is for negotiating or proposing a trade. Buy Now only appears on listings that accept cash and have a set price.
