Now the seller can make offers on ebay...

Tetromibi

As of tonight, I now have an option to send offers to the random people watching my items...without them ever contacting me or me knowing who they are.

Weird... Not sure if I like it or hate it.

I like it. Most of my BINs in my watchlist are overpriced. If the seller wants to give me an offer, I will at least listen.

I do not have that option right now, but I also only have one item listed.

Used this feature last week. Had four watchers on one of my items and sent out offers. One of them accepted.

COINS MAKE CENTS

That is interesting... years ago, I was a low bidder on a coin on ebay - price went way higher than I was willing to pay. A day later I got a message from 'someone' - not the seller - offering one he had, slabbed, PCGS. I said I was interested. He told me his price and said he would send the coin for me to look at Wow... so I said yes. He did, it was real, price was right, and I sent him a check. Asked him why he did it that way. He said he was an attorney and if I had just kept the coin he would have sued me into the poor house.... It was a good deal, still have the coin. Cheers, RickO

I may have to "reach out and touch someone" with a few of these "offers"...of course, forum members always have a without fee price...perhaps a little more "wiggle room".

Pretty cool!

I think that’s a good idea. I have a few things on my watch list that I would buy if the price was a little lower.

e bay is willing to do almost anything to get their final value fees

Poshmark (somewhat similar to eBay but focused on clothes/fashion) offers this and my wife has bought a few things that sellers offered to her at a good price. I think it's a good thing as long as buyers don't start getting spammed with dozens of offers at a couple of a percent off or something.

Can you share how you do it?
I couldn't figure it out.

@mannie gray
1.Go to My eBay and click Messages.
2.Open an email from the member and click send an offer directly to the member at the bottom of the email.
3.Enter the quantity, price, and message to the buyer. (Note: Shipping isn't included in the offer details.)
4.Click Submit.

Oh wow , that's new .
They are cracking down on out of Ebay sales . They are monitoring messages between buyers and sellers once the eBay auction is ended with out being sold on eBay . They can monitor a paypal payment between the seller who ended auction off eBay and the interested eBay buyer who messaged the seller . That is the proof .

I got 1 warning and so did the seller for this .
!st time is a warning to be followed by a temporary suspension or messaging privileges block .

The data center in Utah is monitoring us all, including this transmission.
