Problem in sending offers

rebel-sheep — Wed, 06 Jan 2021 12:36:04 GMT

Hi, does anyone know how to send an offer to further watchers on your items, after you have already sent an offer to the first one or two watchers together?

Ive tried every way to do this but am unable to add multiple offers, only send it the once 😕 Thanks

I would think there is a limit to how many offer you can make, but do you think it is wise making offers to completely unknown members?

Woudn't it be better to add BEST OFFER to your listings, at least you can see who makes an offer and can look at feedback they have received and left (Feedback left tells you more about a buyer than FB received) before deciding to accept their offer.

As far as I know, offers are sent to all watchers on BIN item, didn't think you could choose, as you don't know who they are,

watchers can then then, accept, ignore or counter offer.

Hi, no I sent an offer when it had 2 watchers which is supposed to be valid for 48hrs. It says offer sent to 2 watchers, not the 3rd watcher who arrived after, just the 2.

The problem has got worse. It wont let me reduce the buy it now price or add best offer. I cant do anything exept change the content of the wording.
Therefore you risk the chance of losing watchers if they decide theyve seen something cheaper.

I wasted ages on chat and he couldnt see any problem. Dont think he understood what i was asking.
Getting pretty frustrated now as its still got the banner saying ive sent an offer to 2 watchers, and even though its over the 48hrs validity I cant reduce the price, add best offer or send offers to other watchers whilst its there 😣

Ive never considered whos buying my items. How could you stop someone clicking a buy it now?
If their feedback is that bad wouldnt they be restricted from buying..
I remember when I first joined ebay there wasnt all this worry about INR etc as people used to pay by cheque more. Now we even pay fees on postage! Twice!! But what choice do we have.
