How to Retract a Counteroffer and Accept Original Offer?

[mchristinec]

I messed up on an offer I received - mistook it for a different item; is there a way to retract my counteroffer and accept the original offer?

Nope.  You can message the seller and tell them you'd like to accept the original offer, but that's it.  

Personally if I was the seller, I'd stop communication with you, completely forever.  No more buying from me!

Not a good business practice if you let people negotiate with you then stop talking to your customers when they negotiate.

So you’ve never heard of negotiating?

Haggling? Bargaining? You just decline the counter & cut off all communication?

sellers like you make ebay a lot less fun.
