offers

Today, I made an offer on an item that had been relisted...all because the seller was daft enough to misplace the item in the first place. When I went to make on offer on said item last year, he accepted the first of three options that eBay had provided but this time round he didn't. I think that, when such offer options are provided by eBay (for example, £14, £15 or £16 for an item that is £17) then they should accept whichever option the buyer clicks on and not make a counter-offer.

If I had a psv badge for sale at £30 and enabled offers, then I would accept whichever offer option the seller clicked on because making a counteroffer could be putting them off.

@sandbagger_one it's one of those occasions where you should try selling and seeing what the seller sees. 3 options? Never seen that! You get 3 chances to get an offer accepted, but as far as I was aware the buyer chooses how much to offer. The seller simply sets a price, allows or disallows offers and can set a minimum offer price. 

If you made an offer before that was accepted try messaging the seller and remind them that you were disappointed before.

On the app and mobile website eBay shows 3 suggested offer amounts which are nothing to do with the seller.  The buyer can either select one of the suggested amounts or enter their own.

about the offer thats true i see that all the time.  but its  not daft  to misplace an item especially if you have loads of items all over the place or in plenty of boxes.
