Unwanted Offers

[ady9701]

What is it with this new thing on eBay where you go browsing , not particularly wanting to buy anything but just have a look and see what's on there. You come back to your phone and you have been bombarded with offers for every single item you have looked at. I had Thirty offers for things I just glanced at for a few seconds each. Maybe have a button you can press if you are interested in an item ,a " give me an offer " button. Or just let the potential buyer make an offer like we always have done. I getting sick of having to decline offers so I can clear my inbox.

The industry term is browse abandonment emails.

ebay are a little more gung-ho than others it has to be said.

In theory, you've given ebay permission to do so have you shown a possible intent to purchase by looking at the page.

You can go through your communication preferences though not a clue which one is linked to these ema...

It's not a new thing, they've been doing it aggressively for ages, around a year in my experience. Guess it depends on how consistently active you are.

Personally I don't mind it too much. Occasionally it gives me offers that are too good to refuse on items that I wouldn't have actually watched due to their starting price.
