| TDIRunner:
The auction will end up in more searches that way. Besides, the seller probably figures that someone will just bid themselves up like you were describing. |
| Megatron:
As an amateur to eBay selling, I have posted listings in the past and not realized I have the ability to turn off "offers" and have done something similar - though admittedly the offers I got were 20% off or more and I do't bargain with lowballers. So if this person posted without realizing that he/she could disable it, they may not be interested in offers. Still, they should at least respond that they aren't interested in offers |

I can still buy it now but I'm too pissed at this seller to give him my business. --- End quote --- This frustrates me as well. "Best Offer" decline. Well... what... im only like... $5 lower than what you are asking.... why is this option here? |

It's nearly exactly what I've been looking for, though at the very top limit of what I wanted to pay. So, I offer $30 to start a negotiation. He immediately declines (no counter offer). OK, maybe too much of a lowball offer on my part, so I now offer $35. Once again he declines with no counter. I go to $38 - same thing decline and no counter. Now I'm annoyed. My offer is only about 15% off his asking price. I try again at $40 and finally $42. Decline with no counter offer. I even messaged him to please counter so we can make a deal but no response.

Not sure, but I definitely made 5 offers. |
