• I'm selling something on Ebay for the first time in years, just did a standard auction which has six days left to run. I've received a message asking if there is a buy it now price.

    Shall I just leave the auction as is? Is there a way to add a buy it now price (and any benefit to me of doing so)?

    Just leave it.

    You can do this ^ but eBay's AI / Drones are very good at spotting it and you'll get a wristslap.

  • If you respond to the message you will have the option of 'send offer' which gives them a one time chance to buy it now. If you don't have this option you'll have to end the auction and re-list as a fixed price (buy it now) auction.
    Be careful with contact details. ebay algorithms are shit hot at detecting this stuff now.
    I was selling some wheels a while ago and a buyer wanted to look at them before committing. I tried sending my phone number and got an instant warning. I then sent my house number and post code and got banned.
    ebay were cool about it but was a load of hassle.
