By now I have simply saved a templated ‘offer declined’ message that I copy paste each time I get an offer. I’ll leave you with the below which was so stupid that I didn’t bother to reply:
I would like to look at this guy’s paypal account, because I am sure his offer amounts to some leftover balance he has there which is to low to withdraw.
On a more serious note, this is a clear consequence of ebay setting the expectation among buyers by implementing the ‘Make an Offer’ button. I mean, for a company that contends with the likes of Amazon, it would make sense to not allow offers as it establishes a bargaining culture and a race to the bottom that results in lower profits for the seller community and lower fees for ebay.
Honestly these are really hard questions to answer. I don’t know my net because a lot of my worth is tied up in an asset that keeps changing value. How do you define rich? I don’t know if I’m rich or not.
