sroster Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Can someone please enlighten me as to why someone would buy one of my items with a best offer option at full asking price without even making an offer?? I must admit I have done this a few times. 1) I hate waiting up to 2 days for the buyer to maybe accept maybe not, especially if it is already a very good price and worried someone might give a better offer of buy it now 2) Sometimes it is because the ebay bucks deal is in play and worried the buyer will take too long to accept and I won't get the 10% back 3) Makes me feel like a real man 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_rockefeller Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Maybe they didn't make an offer so they can get the product and open a snad case, maybe?!Sounds about right :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sroster Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 #3 made me lol and wake up the wife....got kicked to the couch. Thanks a lot! Heh, my bad. I'm in the same boat as you if you feel any better but in my case it is eating taco bell for dinner and the unpleasant odors associated with that has me banned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migration Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Can someone please enlighten me as to why someone would buy one of my items with a best offer option at full asking price without even making an offer?? I prefer the ones that offer more than the BIN price. I've had that happen twice in the last six months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojoyojimbi Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I prefer the ones that offer more than the BIN price. I've had that happen twice in the last six months. I clearly state that i ship international through ebay and i've had people offer more to ship directly to them, and I turn them down everytime, not worth all the scamming and hassles that ebay handles when you ship through ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Some eBay buyers have the cerebrum of an amoeba as I used to get a high proportion of BIN buyers who never made an offer even though they had the chance to. In some cases, my auto-accept was 25% lower or more. A foolish single-celled organism and their money are soon parted. One woman even paid twice for something (cheque & PayPal) as payment was pending for a while and she couldn't wait. I contacted her and no reply so I was paid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumper Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I fully support the GSP - but I would never use it True, It's a great program indeed if you are on that side, if it worked from Canada outwards I'd definitely use it myself as well. but it's a skunk if you really want to import things from the US. here one has to use third party software just to filter out search results that include GSP listings.

stephen_rockefeller Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Does anyone now why I no longer have the option to list an item GTC?

Qaz Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Ebay is offering free auction or BIN listings, up to 500 listings, 10 days or less, from yesterday until Nov 26. More in line with the topic - I recently had someone offer me $24 for an lot of non-LEGO items I have listed for $200, which is already a discounted price. I like to use those types of offers as a reminder to set my auto-decline settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
