Second Chance Offer

I had a buyer who paid, cancel the next day just before I posted.  I want to approach the other bidder, but cannot find a way to email them.  I have googled how to make a second chance offer.  I followed the instructions and under actions, is not coming up as an option.  Had this happen before and gave up.  This time, I want to persevere and find out how I do it.  Thank you in advance.

Second Chance Offer

Has the transaction with the original bidder definitely been cancelled? If the bidder cancelled, I don't see why you are being stopped from making a second chance offer. Hopefully someone will be able to shed some light on this for you.

 

You have probably already seen this info from the eBay help pages, but I wondered if your other bidder had opted out of receiving 'second chance offers'? 

 

Here are some other things to keep in mind when you're making Second Chance Offers:

  • If you're making an offer because the winning bidder didn't pay, you have to cancel the original transaction before you can start the Second Chance Offer
  • When you have more of the same item to sell, only make offers to as many buyers as you have items
  • You can only send Second Chance Offers to buyers who are willing to see them. Buyers can choose whether to see Second Chance Offers in their Communications preferences

Second Chance Offer

Open up the listing (not to edit it, to look at the original listing) and find the bids (right hand side fairly near top, something like "9 bids - ended"

Click on the "9 bids" or whatever to open up the list of bids (opens in a new tab on my setup). This page should allow you to send second chance offers.
