Sellers with best offer but not open to offers
Summary: En la discusión, simplynightbird se pregunta por qué algunos vendedores no aceptan ofertas en eBay, incluso después de listar productos durante un año sin venderlos. eburtonlab señala que eBay podría estar agregando la opción de "Hacer oferta" sin el consentimiento del vendedor y que algunos vendedores prefieren no aceptar ofertas por debajo de un precio fijo que tienen en mente. shaun_27_77 desearía que la función obligara a los vendedores a aceptar la mejor oferta, mientras que marnotom! y brettjet38 defienden el derecho del vendedor a decidir el precio. marwo507547 concluye que tanto vendedores como compradores buscan el mejor trato, pero advierte que no siempre se puede esperar un gran descuento en el sistema de ofertas.
Why even bothering buyers? Seller listed his item ONE YEAR ago, rejected/ignored every single offer
Patience or stubbornness ?
Don't 34 offers in one year with no one buying alarm that the item may be overpriced?
Seems like a turn off to everyone so why are they adding the feature...

·1 year agoIt really depends on the seller and what you are attempting to buy.
Every buyer wants to buy something for the best possible deal just like sellers want the best possible price for an item; I think if the seller is using the best-offer system and are expecting to get more than what they listed their item for - it won't happen probably -- as who would pay more than the price that is listed; but as a buyer if you are expecting the seller to accept a huge discount on an item then you are expecting way too much from this best-offer system.
My experience using this best-offer system:
I offered a price for an item (a book) - which was about 10% less than the price and the seller accepted the offer.
Another time a seller counter-offered my offer and we sent back and forth until we got a price that we both liked.
Some times the seller doesn't even bother to respond to you as well - this happens a lot as well - it makes you wonder why they put this feature on their item if they were not willing to negotiate.
If you've bartered before it is quite fun to negotate a price but if you are expecting to get a huge discount on an item through this best-offer system on ebay then you are expecting way too much.

·4 years agoIn some cases eBay is adding the "Make offer" option even when the seller does not request it and has repeatedly removed it, so it may not be the seller adding that option at all.
Or perhaps those 34 offers were not high enough for the seller to accept. Some sellers have a firm price in mind and are not willing to accept less than that, regardless of how many others are convinced it is "overpriced".
It takes both a willing buyer and a willing seller to make a deal.

·1 year agoThere's a special type of listing for that sort of set-up. It's called an “auction".

·1 year ago"It’s meaningless when the seller won’t sell."
It IS the SELLERS choice as to at which price they will "Sell" an item, not the Buyers...
...just saying, supply and demand.

I just had a $10 Offer on a $199.99 item.
That's the highest offer I've had on the listing, which has been up for four days.
I don't think I will accept it.
It did notify me that I had forgotten to put Accept/Reject parameters on the listing. And to add a name to my Blocked Buyer List.
