If someone gives you a ridiculous offer do you have to respond? I didn't realize I have that on. I didn't have it on, can a buyer just send me an offer it I do not accept them or have it listed as accepting offers. I don't really want to respond. Have ended the listing and will be relisting it later as I had to update it anyways.

you can set it to automatically decline offers below a certain threshold when creating your listing. I always reply personally but sometime the offers are pretty ridiculous I admit. I like to reply with a counter offer, you never know they may just be testing the water or hoping you click the wrong button 🙂

Your choices are:
Accept.
Decline.
Counter-offer.
Ignore.
And you can set your parameters to automatically accept offers above a certain amount or reject them below a certain amount.

Thanks everyone. I chose to ignore. When someone offers $2 on a $15 item to me it is an insult. I didn't know that I had put best offer as I never do that and if I did I would set a limit.
It reminds me of a story. I had a table at a flea market and I had a leather wallet for $5, this lady kept coming by and offering me $2 and I kept saying No. Near the end of the sale, I raised the price to $7 and she came back and said you raised the price and I said yes, this way you can offer me $5 and I will accept it. She bought the wallet for $5.00 as it was leather and worth a lot more than $5.00.

For an offer like you received I ignore them.
In my world not only is one faced with the most likely wasted haggling time, one is also likely faced with much higher risk of not as described problems afterward. (Same concept as one is likely to get more complaints from someone who paid .99c for an item).
I also agree that reasonable offers are hard to predict and I would also say that people that make reasonable offers that are just a bit below what I would have said is my "best price" are more likely to be accepted by me....
