As far as I understand this should be something like a "buy it now"-option that is availiable on eBay.

I understand this might be helpful sometimes, but how do you define the markup that has to be paid for instant transfers (+who gets this money)?

For example:
Player is listed for 1.000.000 and a buy-him now price of 2.000.000 - the instabuy would be much more expensive (as demanded) and at the same time much more lucrative for the seller, which at the same time would result in a drop in demand for such transactions...

I would only buy such a player if I was sure that the price paid was near the market value, otherwise I would search for another option. And to be honest at the moment there are not many unique player types left, so an alternative is waiting around the corner everytime...

The "buy it now" option only helps a bidder who can't always be on line, it doesn't help the seller at all since the seller would rather get the highest bid (that is unless he just can't wait for the sale to occur. But if that's the case, then it would be better to suggest giving a seller the option of limiting the duration of the time a player is on the T).

The bottom line reason why this is not a good direction to go: If you're willing to "buy it now" at a certain price, and you think it's the right market value offer, just bid that amount when you're able to be online. If someone outbids you, well you just didn't put in your best offer.

Don't ask what sort of Chunks they are, you probably don't want to know. Blowing Chunks since Season 4!
