Delete Watched Items

Unable to delete declined and expired offers, any suggestions?

If you are receiving them as a buyer, you do not have to decline any offers, they expire in X amount of time. The offer should show a time amount they are good for. After that you can then delete them but not before that. It just how things are set up. When a seller sends offers, they are going to everyone watching the item, without the sender knowing who the watchers are.

Unless I misunderstand... can't you tick the box to the left of the item in your Watch List and tick 'Delete'? That works for me...

[redmodelt]

I was going to add that just in case, but you still have to wait for the offer to expire before you can check the box and delete.

@redmodelt 

You just taught me something! Thanks, buddy! 😊

That "used to" work for me, but not lately - don't know why

[rcaspindle-4]

The offers expired days ago, still cannot delete

[rcaspindle-4]

What ?

I didn't know the offer had to expire, as @redmodelt explained. I'm with you... I thought you could just delete them.

The offer does not "have to" expire, the seller just does nothing about it and let's it expire - that's what I have a problem with. I do not think it is right for eBay to let seller just ignore best offers. After all, eBay wants items to sell - and so should the seller. That won't happen though with offers that just expire.

LOL...I have a "Lego" set up with a BIN for 179.00. Someone sent me an "offer" of 30 dollars. Yeah...maybe I should have put a minimum on it, but still...30bucks???  That's his "best offer"??  Needless to say his "offer" expired....

What you evidently aren't aware of is that when a seller uses the quick listing tool eBay automatically adds Best Offer to their listing whether they want it or not. So much of the time sellers are simply not wanting to expend time and energy on offers they didn't want in the first place. So they simply ignore them.

We'll then, I wish they would have to put in their ad that it was listed using the quick listing tool - so I would be sure to "avoid" those ads

[rcaspindle-4]

That always "used to" work - but not now for some reason.

I have tried "as a buyer" to click make best offer - sometimes the seller excepts, or counter offers - which is fine with me, but there are sellers that choose to just do nothing - doing nothing about the offer (ignoring it) - I do not appreciate that at all. So, I won't be making offers anymore, sounds like there's no point to it.
