Hmm. Retract counteroffer?
Responding to a counteroffer
You can accept, reject, or continue negotiating by making another offer to the seller. Here's how you can respond:
- Accept and commit to buy – Select Buy it in the counteroffer message
- Negotiate – Make another offer to the seller
- Reject – Select Reject offer in the counteroffer message
This is complicated...
Canceling a Best Offer
When you make a Best Offer or a counteroffer, you're agreeing to buy the item if the seller accepts. However, if you've made a mistake when making an offer or a counteroffer, you can retract or cancel it in certain circumstances.
You can retract a Best Offer or counteroffer if:
- You accidentally entered the wrong offer amount (for example, you submitted an offer of $99.95 instead of $9.95)
- The description of the item has changed significantly since you made your offer
- You can’t get in touch with the seller
As well as the above, timing is also important. You can retract an offer if:
- There are 12 hours or more left before the listing ends
- The listing is ending in less than 12 hours and it's been less than an hour since you placed your most recent offer
You won’t be able to retract your offer if:
- The seller has already accepted or declined your offer, or sent you a counteroffer
- You’ve already made 5 offers in a specific category
