I think Best Offer window used to be 48 hours, right? I received an offer on one of my listings but since I didn't check my e-mail yesterday, when I had a chance to look at it today it has already expired... and apparently the window for me to accept the offer is only 24 hours. Is that a recent change? Is there a way in my eBay settings to change that back to 48 hours?

I don't think so. So you can email, let them know you had not seen it and send an offer back at the same time.

Hi @zee-chan! Best Offers that are sent to you have their response timeframe set by the interested party (24, 48 or 72 hours). It's not something that you can change from your end.

Tyler,

Hello Tyler,

Can you confirm? I think the 24/48/72 is a US thing only. Canada never got those options. You don't even see the expiry when you send. Only options are amount or %.

Lotz-- Wouldn't that apply to Sellers making offers?

This is a case of a Buyer making an offer.

When I go to attempt to make an offer to a seller there are only options for an amount and a note. What I expressed above was passed on to me from US sellers in the past.

PS. There is limited information availabe if you review offers sent other than considering or expired. I've received offers from buyers in the past that expired(item rolled over) and buyers needed to re-request.
