    How do I reward a seller with extra money?
                     

    I purchased a vintage item with a BIN price of $30.  I had been looking for this item for over ten years and it was worth far more to me than $30.  I wanted to express my gratitude to the seller by offering $130 on another of his items listed with BIN of $30.  Unfortunately, it was apparently not allowed.  Is there any way to send extra dollars to a seller?  I suppose I could ask him to list a trivial item (a button?  a candy bar?) for $100 BIN and I would buy it.  That seems a little shady and indirect.  Any way to directly send money?

    < I wanted to [offer] $130 on another of his items listed with BIN of $30 >   

     

    I would send the seller a Benjamin in the mail so s/he wouldn't have to pay tax on it ... shhh I didn't say that.

    eBay does not allow this and cannot accommodate it.  You can ask the seller if they have another way to send money to them such as PayPal or something like Venmo.
