Regarding offers from ebay sellers...

Is there an option to turn off the offers?
Each time I have used ebay to search for a coin I inevitably end up with several offers that I do not want/need and it becomes an eyesore on my Summary page: It then becomes necessary to decline and delete each one.
I do not want to do this and I never want the coins that are being offered.

You don't have to act on any offer. They automatically expire.😎
Thanks for the quick reply. I realize that they eventually expire, but I do not want to receive them.
To opt out of seller offers on eBay, follow these steps:
This will prevent sellers from sending you offers based on your browsing history. Note that you may still receive offers if you've previously expressed interest in a seller's items or if you've purchased from them before. To stop all offers, including those based on purchase history, toggle the "All purchase-related offers" switch to "Off" in the same "Communication preferences" section.
You can turn them off somewhere in settings in a web browser (not the app). Don’t ask me where exactly, I just know I’ve seen them before.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Stop looking at coins you don't want and you won't get offers on them.
Best of luck!

I wish I could...definitely a time-waster looking at the "unwanteds"

It can be annoying especially if they still at some high price but they expire.! Now if they 10 pct below bid might have a use for them.
Maybe I am just cranky tonight, but I can't believe this is even an issue. Offers are easy enough to ignore, but if one can't all it takes is a few clicks to decline and delete. I wish that the only thing I had to worry about was eBay offers... smh

I could see getting offers from those you saved, but those you just looked at for a couple secoonds and skipped?
Apparently it cannot be done. Here is what I found online.
Someone contacted Ebay customer service:
They were informed, these offers are called "seller initiated offers."
The only way to stop them is "to not view an item."
They requested info on how to register a complaint
I have mostly received offers for coins I watched.
Many sellers have an automatic offer set somewhere in their profile and if you look and linger long enough on the seller's auction it triggers.
Just ignore it. If you can't, well, with our level of OCD, maybe fleaBay isn't for us.
Sometimes it works out.
I had a funny one just yesterday, in fact. The seller listed a "rare widget" at $300. I offered $80, which was a fair top-of-the-range price for that widget. The offer was instantly declined.
Over the next two weeks, he kept lowering the price and each time I received an offer, I countered at $80 and was auto-declined.
Yesterday he offered at $84.99 and I countered at $80. This time he had changed the auto-decline limit, saw the offer, and took it.
