Why enable offers in the first place if you’re not planning on accepting something within 10%? If I made an offer on an item you’re selling and you counter with an offer higher than the listing price I’ll be much less inclined to buy anything from you; now or in future. Either don’t accept offers in the first place or raise your minimum offer threshold to be within a price you’d actually consider selling, otherwise you’re only wasting people’s time - including your own.

I’d say that unless you’re selling items for tens of thousands, if you’re not prepared to consider an offer within 10% of the asking price you’re probably listing your items too low to begin with.

Do I love it? No.
Do I hate it? No.
Do I think you’re an idiot? Yes.

Couldn’t have put it better myself. I get many of us deal with a lot of stupidity and assholes when selling on ebay but this just seems like being an asshole for the sake of being an asshole. Very hypocritical

On r/eBay the first advice always given is to turn off Best Offer. The main reason is to avoid having to deal with low-ball offers all day long. Turn off Best Offer and spend 10-30 minutes a day checking sold listings if your item is still priced correctly.
Totally agree with you here Pichu :3 If you not willing to consider a -10% offer, and raise the price afterwards you’re just a douchebag seller.

You can auto-decline offers below a certain threshold so you don’t have to deal with lowball offers.

You can also auto accept offers. I know how eBay works. The thing is OP not willing to sell for anything lower than his listing price, which he happily raises when people show interest. Another ‘fan’ being in the hobby for financial gain first, collecting second.

Wow the hypocrisy in this thread…

@parkermrparker

When i get offers within 10% of asking price…i raise my asking price 30-40%
Or i accept the offer…
Depends on my mood…
Hate it or love it ?

My favorite is when I see a psa card I am selling, sell at auction for higher than I have it listed. I immediately raise it above what the action sold for and they sell right away… Always check the buy it nows before you buy actions people!

[gottaketchumall]

With the way the market has been moving I’ve turned offers off on most listings, probably will turn them off on the rest soon.

I’ve had people send offers for 10% less than list on items with outdated pricing that was already 25%+ below recent market sales. You can bet I declined, removed best offer, and increased price by 50%. If the buyer had clicked BIN I would honor any price even if outdated, but if you send an offer you turn the sellers eyes to the item and get them to evaluate current pricing while considering your offer.

Its fair play given eBay enabling a “make an offer” option on asking a question for BIN items listed without best offer because I get about 30 of those messages a day lately where I’m not accepting offers. Same thing applies there in that I occassionally raise prices on people offering 5% off a BIN with no best offer.

@sal85012

Exactly why take offers if not willing to budge on asking lol. I specifically look for listing with best offers if there are multiples in the same range. To each their own.

I agree with this. If you don’t want to accept offers don’t have that as an option. When I make offers I try to be respectful and not super low-ball people on what they’re asking for. I think that is a good reason to set your auto-decline on offers to filter out the low-ballers.

The offers im getting are via direct message. None of my listings allow best offers

None of listings allow offers. The potential buyer is just messaginng me the offer because the best offer option isnt available

Ive said this a few times now but i dont have offers available on any of my listings. Its buyers making offers via messages that cause me to act like this. If the price is the price why would they make an offer? It just makes me raise the price lol

[parkermrparker]

@anon92205803

Normally, people complain when someone offers 50% and below on an item, which happens all the time. But this strategy is to punish people for making a respectable offer in the range of what you asked for. I wouldn’t expect anyone to deal with me if I pulled that.

Im happy with this potential buyer never dealing with me. I dont allow offers on my listings because im almost always the lowest priced item on ebay.

[seriouslysilly]

@A.P.Speeze

When I’m checking over my listings I do the same for some cards if they have some watchers and I’m underpriced to others or am the only one available. Have sold a few cards right after raising prices so I’ll continue to do it.

Thanks for the tip, I may have to do that as well!Usually I just sit on the item since I"m in no rush and relist 1-3 weeks later. I typically list around at or slightly above recent listings but slightly below current active listings.

Same thing applies there in that I occassionally raise prices on people offering 5% off a BIN with no best offer.

This I find 100 percent acceptable. There have been times where I have forgotten about items I had listed with a BO that became underpriced, and all it took was a potential buyer “reminding” me about it with an offer for me to raise the price.

However, if I list a card with a BO, and that same day, a buyer makes an offer within 10 percent of the list price, I will either accept the offer or counter. I’ve never understood why sellers straight up decline offers within 10 percent of the list price, let alone intentionally raising the price after a legitimate offer is made. What is the point of putting a best offer option on the item then?

EDIT: I now see the OP has straight up Buy It Nows and doesn’t even allow offers, but there are absolutely sellers that do this.

If that’s the case, don’t respond. Problem solved. Your initial post made it sound like you had the offer option on your listings.

[neverforget50in07]

@parkermrparker, You do know you can tag everyone that you quoted to say that you don’t allow best offers. It saves a lot of time. (just giving a tip, not being mean).

That’s the point… If your not willing to accept or work within a 10% lower range offer. Don’t enable best offer. Your just a dick wasting peoples time. You want it to sell for the price you listed keep ot turned off.
