What does it mean when a seller requires Immediate Payments?

When you see the text "Immediate Payment Required" on a listing page, this means that you need to be the first person to pay for the item in order to win it (unlike other cases in which you win on eBay first, then pay for the item). With Immediate Payment items, be aware that other members could win the item first if that other member pays first. 

Important: To use Immediate Payments, you need to pay through PayPal with a credit card or with other PayPal funds (including a PayPal balance or a bank account).
