best offer listings

brenprovence1 — Fri, 24 Apr 2020 10:20:49 GMT

Is there anything that can be done to stop some sellers listing best offer. On 2 recent occasions I have put best offer on items around £100. Last one was £92.39 or best offer. So I started best offer £82 - no response so expired; 2nd offer £89 - no response expired; 3rd offer £91.39 - no response expired. Now I bought the item because I wanted it BUT why do they say best offer? I have sold using best offer and I put minimum offer i would accept - surely this should be necessary when listing and should the rules allow best offer not to be accepted when the offer is only £1 less than a £92.39 item?

confused eBayer!!

In so many cases, where sellers are using the Quick Listing Form decisions are made for them by ebay, who add best offer.

The sellers don't understand them, don't know how to remove them or use thm properly. I suspect that the settings of automatic rejections for low, cheeky offers are not even available.

Only sellers who know how best to use Best Offers and use the Seller Hub have full control over decisions and are more likely to respond.

ebay are adding best offer without the sellers knowledge

but even if the seller had added it themselves, replying to an offer isn't compulsory

sellers can just ignore all offers if they want to!
