Thread: Let buyers make an offer on items with buy pricing

  1. #1

    Question Let buyers make an offer on items with buy pricing

    On eBay when you list an item with a "BUY IT NOW" price you can choose to let potential buyers make an offer that you can either accept, counter offer, or decline. I believe it would be an asset on this site AND increase sales for Sellers!
    ...As I always say AND usually do... "Once a day...whether you need it or not!"

    I agree, I was always more interested as a buyer when I saw a "Best Offer" tag next to an auction I was interested in on eBay.

    I think it would entice buyers to auctions, which in turn is great for sellers.

    You can always use your 'notice' facility to invite offers. If you want to see what I am talking about look at one of my listings. It has even been used a couple of times

    This idea comes up on ebid very few weeks.

    I think its a great idea if it was made optional as to if the wording was shown on a listing.

    I have had several sales on other sites with it.

    This is not something I would use.

    I dont really like the idea of a customer sending an offer, then having to leave the site and wander off elsewhere while waiting on a response.

    I would rather close the sale while the customer is viewing the item in the first place.

    I have had occasions (not many, I will admit), where a customer has made me an offer which I have refused, so they purchase at the listed price, then left bad fb because I refused their offer.

    I could go for the best offer. I sell a lot using that from my store not from an auction though.

    ME ...If I would accept a lesser price I would have lowered it in the beginning.
    My listings will be as is or more
