On an email I received from a potential buyer it says.

New you can now send an offer directly to the member for this item. (Learn more) and of course the link doesn't work.

What does you can now send an offer directly to the member for this item mean to you?

It's been around for a few months. If a potential buyer writes you and ask what is your cheapest price or will you take such and such a price, you can now offer to sell it to them at a specific price. If they accept the offer then the invoice is changed just like it would be if you had the best offer option set up.

That's interesting, I've yet to see it and I get buyers sending me unsolicited offers all the time. Where do you find it?

It is below and to the left of the RESPOND button.

I have used it successfully a few times. The good thing is that if you do sell it, it looks to the world like it sold for the original price, unlike stuff with best offer that sells for less and gets a line through the price.

I don't notice it every time I get a question from a potential buyer but it could be there and I just don't see it. I use .com a lot so perhaps it is just a .com thing...I'm really not sure. Next time you get a question from a potential buyer and you don't see it, sign into .com and see if the option shows up there.
