Yes smart move I agree, it can be a pain when you have stock set there.

They just need to relist the item or add it back onto the GTC listing for it to be great.

“they will be able to override it for individual transactions”

More useful if it will override for individual user id’s, so for eg, you can add your regular buyers. You would not want to upset them.

This is a good step towards a working checkout, but unfortunately it doesn’t yet work the way you’d like it to.

Its utility as a tool has been limited to Paypal only listings. Despite the fact this will magically increase my DSRs, I am told, our listings aren’t typically paypal only.

With a few tweaks this could be really good (raise disputes where the buyer hasn’t gone through “checkout” or marked it as cheque sent). Close them where we haven’t marked it as paid etc etc. At the moment, it’s not a great time-saver for our processes.
