I have raised the issue with eBay. They have raised a complaint.
Make an offer means a sensible offer, I also ignore lowball offers.
There is no complaint that you can raise with eBay that will result in any action being taken against the seller, they are not obliged to respond to offers.

Of course they can. Most sensible sellers set their listings so that acceptable offers are automatically accepted and unacceptable ones are automatically declined, so there's no seller involvement necessary. Some sellers don't know how to set this or like to see what kind of offers they're getting - it may be that they've unsure of their items value so they set a high price and then see if there's an average offer price that comes in.
If you've made an offer on an item and don't want to wait too long for the result because you've seen the same item available from another seller, then you can retract your offer.
Out of curiosity, was this a fixed price Buy It Now listing? If so, what is the BIN price and how much did you offer?

They don't have to respond.
Assume that, if the seller does not respond, they are not interested in your offer.
If I get low offers, I often just ignore them.
