Best Offer

[kenne_q6ljw]

How long does a best offer stand before it is automatically declined?  I am a seller and lately I have had my active list notify me of offers that were already declined which I never saw when they were active, and I check daily.  I hate to miss these offers, and they are offers I would have jumped on.

eBay has been experimenting with letting bidders choose a duration for their offer.  It can be as brief as one hour!

48 hrs.

Thanks. That explains why despite checking my listings regularly I am seeing them for the first time when it already says declined. How long was it before they allowed this?

Maybe you could message the user who sent the Best Offer that you wanted to accept, and ask them to resubmit it, that you would be happy to accept it?

Or revise the listing to the price you wanted to accept and hope that they see it.

Just some ideas that might help.

Hopefully you can still turn this into some sales!
