Do they have you on the newish pay in up to 7 days program?
In my experience it lets you buy stuff from sellers that require immediate payment and pay later. I am guessing this is because when you pick the payment option it is automatically charged to your account when that time comes up and you are agreeing to pay it.

No, eBay doesn't have me on a "pay in up to 7 days program."
What you've described sounds a little like like financing; perhaps a "grace period" extended to certain buyers.
There was a widespread problem with eBay recently. A day or two before a "big game" took place, buyers would hit BIN on a quarterback's rookie card or something similar. They wouldn't pay, of course. They'd wait until after the game. If the player did great (read, their cards would increase in value) then they would pay. If not, they would cancel and not pay.
It was a headache, one that eBay took care of with the "immediate payment required" option.
I have thousands of eBay listings with that option enabled. I just listed an item this afternoon and the option was still available to be chosen. I can't believe eBay would do what you're saying without notifying people.
I don't think you're being malicious; however, I doubt the veracity of your claim. If I'm wrong, I apologize.
If anyone has a link to eBay which supports what Ben has written, please post it.
