E-Bay presented the option to send an offer for an item I am selling. It has 94 watchers, which I know not all of those would get an offer, depending on their e-mail preferences, location (non-delivery area, etc). I clicked the button to start the offer, and it says at the top that 30 people are interested.
I thought this meant 30 people would receive the offer. That "interested" people would be those eligible to actually receive offers on the item, who had watched it. I thought that was 1/3 of the watched group, so worth sending out an offer.
So I sent the offer, and under manage offers, it shows that an offer was sent to 9 people. What happened to their being 30 "interested" people?
The numbers in the offer system don't seem to add up. I wasn't expecting 94 offers to be sent, but when it then filters that number down to 30, I did expect 30 offers to be sent.
What are the filters that filter it down from 94 to 30 and then to 9? Why couldn't they just tell you that 9 up front, instead of making it look like 30 people would get the offer?
