Here is how it works.
A buyer sees an ad for something he/she wants at the price & terms he/she agrees to.
Buyer presses the REPLY button. This fancy window pops up:
Then the buyer can ONLY select "I'll take [item] pending inspection"
Buyer then enters what item in the ad he/she is committing to buy. In this example the only item for sale are the jelly beans. (That's right, jelly beans! HA HA!)
After pressing Continue, one last chance to back out:
After pressing "OKAY -- Committing to Transaction", the "I'll take it" is posted:
The first person to post "I'll take it" has priority and should IMMEDIATELY send the seller a Direct Message to arrange the transaction.
Previously, interested buyers could post "seconds" or "next" to indicate they were next in line. Under the new procedure, additional interested buyers should post their own "I'll take it" commitment, following the same process as the first buyer.
The order of priority is determined by the order in which commitments are posted in the thread.
The seller is obligated to honor the first "I'll take it" commitment. However, if that transaction falls through, the seller should proceed to the next buyer in line, continuing in order until the item is sold.
Bottom line: First commitment gets first opportunity. If that sale falls through, the next commitment takes priority.
Also, the thread starter (seller) can still bump the thread 24 hours after the last post in the thread, same as before. They don't see this pop up when replying. And in the first hour, the seller can keep posting in the thread (you know, to add a post for each item offered for sale, or pictures or whatever). That hasn't changed.
