private offer?

[starmutley]

Hi, 

I have received an ebay message from a buyer wanting to offer a much lower price than the starting bid on one of my listings. Am I right in assuming he should be using the 'make an offer' option. I am unlikely to sell at the price he has asked but I'm just wanting to make sure of how I word my reponse.

Many thanx

As you don't have Best offer on all your listings then the member cannot use Best Offer.

Jist say that as you do not have Best Offer (I assume that this applies) on your listing it means you are not open to offers.

If you do have Best offer on this item, then tell him to make an offer in the proper way, then decline or make a Counter Offer.

Thank you, I do in fact have the make an offer option but he didn't bother to use it. I have responded asking him to do so. But I think it won't be 'cheap' enough for him given his cheeky offer!!
