    Send offer to interested buyers not working.

    When I try to send 5% less offer to interested buyers it no longer works. I’ve never had trouble with this before and I do it often. Help?

    Whenever something like this happens here, I mentally shrug and think, "Oh well, it IS eBay" and find something else to do.

    99% of the time when I come back to it ... it's fixed.

    Since the 5% was an allowed discount, I guess it's one of these reasons from the 'Best Offer' Help Page.

     

    • Not all listings are eligible. Eligibility is determined by a number of factors, including age of listing, listing format, and rules that manage the number of offers buyers receive
    • Items must be in the buyer's cart for at least 2 days to send an offer

    Thanks! eBay must have fixed the problem as  it finally started working again so it must have been a glitch at their end.

    What does not working mean?

     

    Does it mean you cannot send any offers to watchers who you have sent repeated offers to? There are limits.

     

    Does it mean there are some watchers you can never send offers to? Buyers can opt out.

     

    Or does it mean your computer explodes?
