How do you respond in a professional manner when you allow offers and the buyer still asks - "What is your lowest or best price?" My best price is the one you see! Surely I won't be suggesting my lowest possible prices.
You could always ask if they have made any offers and if they say yes then all you can do is say make the first bid and hope you get it for that price.
From what I've just read on another post, if you accept a best offer now the BPF is now taken off the seller before you receive your payment for the goods eg: Offer £10 +£5 post = £15 - less 75p and 4% (60p). You will be paid only £13.65 - there is another post about this on here so be aware its no longer the offer you get paid!
Yes, thank you. I am aware now so no more impulsive clicking to accept. I will have to calculate whether it is worth it. Ebay surely wants us to master Maths.
Yes, I am aware now. Thank you! I have to make reading boards here part of my routine so I am never in the dark. Too many unknowns especially now. I don't want to lose money or have cases open. Ebay surely wants us to master Maths!
My thoughts were - say you'll consider offers but not put a best offer price on the item, tell them to message and you'll agree and adjust a sale price - that way they pay the fees and you get your money. I've cancelled all my best offers and will be ending listings soon, going to sell elsewhere, no more obey for me!
I actually decided on few occasions to adjust the price of my listing, give a day or two and wait for the buyer to pay. Sometimes you accept people's offer and they waste your time and listing and never pay. If the don't pay once I adjusted my listing I then put the original price back on.
What happened to me on a few occasions was buyers sending an offer, me responding with a counteroffer to which they responded with a lower offer than their initial offer - clear gaslighting! I then simply decline. I won't be playing such games.
