eBay

Do you also have this problem?

Recently seller OFFERS have been showing up in the Bids and Offers section. Not meaning the offers that I make, which is acceptable as I make only a few offers, but the offers I receive from sellers. This might be okay IF at the end of the 1-2 day offer it went away, or even a week later. But, no, those pesky OFFERS not only stay in the bidding section all month, being problematic to my actual bidding items, they stay until the listing ends, reuping with the listing being run again in 4/7/10/30 days, which could take months or a year to end.

I’m so tired of having to look between them to find the items I have bids on to see how I’m doing in the auction.

Let me be clear, I commonly have a full watch list, I’m involved in a lot things and some of those things have a lot of parts, like in the Toys & Hobbies section, Radio Control sub-section. I’m into fueled engines and electric powered airplanes. So, there’s a lot of engines, engine repai/replacement parts, engine starters, glow-drivers, glow plugs, fuel pumps, fuel hose, fuel hose clamps, fuel can cap fittings, motors, batteries, battery chargers, battery cell balancers, radios, receivers, servos, gyros, spinners, propellers, wheels, landing gear, retracts, airplanes, chargers, power panels, field boxes, battery monitors, and the list goes on, and on, and on… Some of these items cost hundreds of dollars, others of prices varying down to $10 each. Some are replacement/repair parts and such.

So, I watch a lot of stuff for future needs or for when I can afford to make such a purchase because I’m on limited income. Because of this, I get a lot of seller offers. These offers then clog up my bidding section BECAUSE THEY NEVER GO AWAY! I’ve bought hundreds of items since the pandemic began, and I get rewarded this way for being a loyal eBay buyer by eBay’s insufficient programming for the app to dump these offers within a reasonable timeframe of being over and done with? Makes me want to not be an eBay patron anymore!

Fix it or loose buyers, eBay.

It’s maddening.

I completely agree with you. I really would like to be able to delete them. It makes it harder to find the stuff I want to keep an eye on. If I delete the item from my watch list, it should be removed from declined offers as well.

Hello @knutz4rc @lilaclotus and @erlivin30! We're aware and appreciate the feedback. It's something we're looking into. In the meantime, you can delete these on the website and that should reflect on the app.

Velvet,

I deleted the items from my eBay on the laptop.... however it does not clear the items on the app. I'm so frustrated... It's a pain.

Ugh, that's unfortunate @happyheartsco, as it should remove them from the app too. I'll be sure to pass this new info back to the mobile team. Thanks for following up.

Velvet,
