Did you know that some discounts are too high to send offers on eBay?

After keying in a number incorrectly, I noticed that eBay prevents from sending offers to buyers (when you are the seller) that are too high of a discount. Playing around with the numbers, 75% appears to be the max discount one can offer before eBay prevents you from sending it. Anything that is 40% off to 75% off gives you this message: "Offering a high discount on your listings may have a significant impact on your earnings." and you cannot send an offer that is not at least 5% off (at least from what I show on my account but I believe I have seen some offers come in that were lower so maybe it is possible for someone with a store or in other categories).

    Lower the price until it's within the range eBay accepts.

    Not that I'm really buying on eBay (I look), but thanks for the info'. Interesting data.
