Yes I would like an optional choice of MAKE AN OFFER
No I would not like an optional choice of MAKE AN OFFER
I don't care either way.
I can't understand how eBid can ignore the monetary advantage of Best Offer. There are hardly any Vintage and Antique shops on here and they are the shops which will sell single items for high prices. Most of the 'Pound Shop' sellers on here would have to sell hundreds of their items to reach the turnover of two of mine, all that admin, all those emails, all those listings compared with my two - and when I have written asking for Best Offer, all I get is, "that option is not being considered in the near future".
The only way to encourage Anique and Vintage sellers on here is to give the Best Offer option.
P.S. to Gazza, please learn the difference between a knife and an antique silver fruit knife - Jeez :-)
Just to remind everyone. I opened this poll because of another thread about 'make an offer' option and Gazza replied asking for a poll to be held.
I myself, voted yes, because having a choice of selling options, including 'make an offer' can be beneficial.
I have some items with Buy Now prices (especially my banners and templates) including some regular items with Buy Now prices and other stuff with bid price/buy now prices combined.
I have a few expensive items I feel would benefit if I had a 'make an offer' option available.
There are a lot of items that are RARE or UNIQUE, such as antiques, coins, stamps, trading cards, etc.
This is one area where nearly every item would use 'Make an Offer'.
'Make an Offer' would also allow buyers interested in multiple items from the same seller to make an offer and receive a discount.
People who are against 'Make an Offer' keep in mind that it is being proposed as an OPTION. If you don't like it, then simply do not use it on your listings. But, by voting 'No' you are voting that all sellers cannot use 'Make an Offer' even if they want to.
Examples:
(1) I list an autographed trading card of David Beckham for $400 Buy It Now. On Ebid it is either buy it for $400 or look elsewhere.
With Make an Offer, I list it as $400 Buy It Now or Make an Offer. I would no doubt receive multiple offers for this item. If I get an offer for $300, I'd sell it.
Without Make an Offer I would have to be some type of deity to know exactly what someone would pay and list it at the perfect price.
(2)
I have several (50) Trading Cards listed for Manchester United. Some rare some not so rare. A buyer is interested in buying all the items. Without the 'Make an Offer' option the buyer would have to purchase all the items at the 'Buy It Now' Price.
With a 'Make an Offer' option, it would allow the buyer an eBid approved, easy, convenient, no hassle way to contact me about a discount for a large purchase (happened all the time on ebay).
With only 'Buy it Now' these (50) Manchester United Items would take many months to sell individually. With 'Make an Offer' I might sell them all at once.

I voted yes for the "make an offer" option. Not sure right now if I would or would not use it. Would be nice to have the choice though. Thanks Jan for starting this poll.
72% not bad at all.........
‘’Pink’’ I understand you…and if you don’t like ‘’make an offer’’ just don’t use this options for your listing…AMEN…....
P.S. Many other sellers will use because not everybody has same items and same paying price even if is the item same….and this is the reality of any auction site….
Love this reply or hate it.
Right now on a search "eBid" is asking all which view they like the best. Gallery has a commanding 73% of 457 votes. Now if they'll poll the members for something like a view why not get there input on a best offer "OPTION"? Seller's choice whether or not to use it on a listing.
