How Buy now works

Buy now is the path used to purchase a listing directly on the displayed terms without first sending a price proposal, where this feature is available.

The main distinction is:

• Make an offer → you send a proposal that the seller needs to manage;
• Buy now → you directly start the purchase path provided for the listing.

Before using Buy now, always review the listing, price, item condition and information displayed on the confirmation screen.

This article only covers the entry point into the flow. Once the purchase starts, the order, payment, shipping, delivery and transaction states belong to the relevant Help Center sections.
