How Buy Now & Make an Offer Work
A quick overview of how fixed price offers function on ITAD Auctions.
Buy Now
- Allows buyers to instantly purchase the batch at the listed price
- Once confirmed, the listing is marked sold
- Both buyer and seller receive an email with contact info
- Buyer and seller then arrange payment and shipping directly
- Sellers are obligated to honor Buy Now purchases at the listed price
Make an Offer
- Buyers can suggest a custom price for the batch
- Offers must be at least 70% of the listed Buy Now price
- Seller gets notified and has 48 hours to respond
- During this time, no additional offers can be made by that buyer
- Seller can accept or reject — no automatic approvals
- Be realistic: while you wait, other users can still buy the batch outright using Buy Now
After an Offer Is Accepted
- Buyer and seller receive a confirmation email with contact details
- The listing is marked sold and disappears from public view
- Payment and shipping are arranged directly between both parties
Notes for Sellers
- You can receive multiple offers, but can only accept one
- Be prompt: slow responses may lead to lost opportunities
