Auction listing question.
I have a running auction with 5 days left. Buyer messaged me if I would accept $$$ right now. It's a good offer.
I already have one bid so I can not edit to had Buy it Now. Any other options?
Thanks,

·3 years agoIf you mean you got a "Message from a member" containing an offer, you can (if there are least 12 hours left to run) but it is usually not in the seller's best interest to accept such unsolicited offers. They are frequently made by scammers but even at best are made because the offeror a) doubts that the amount would win if the auction goes to the end and/or b) is 1) chronically and/or 2) situationally impatient. To accept it you have to cancel all bids and end the listing early without a winner (ticking off your existing and prospective bidders and incurring an extra fee) and then relist the item in a manner that allows the offeror to buy it properly at the correct price, with no guarantee that s/he will do so (it is likely s/he has made multiple such offers).

Once bidding starts you can’t edit the listing in any way.
If you cancel the listing, you will pay fees as if it sold and you get a defect.
Invite your bargain hunter to join in the bidding.
