Best Offer on multiple items

[misprintmagiccards]

First time seeing this. I have a listing at $300 with four items available. An offer was submitted for $275, which I would take, for four items. When I start to submit a similar offer as a buyer, it displays the total (for example it would display $1100 in this case), but as a seller when I received the offer message it just says $275 (quantity 4).

If I accept this offer, am I going to be paid $1100, or $275? I can't find anything in the FAQs.

The way I read that, you would get paid $275. If the offer is for the lot of 4. 

Contact the buyer and verify "Hey, you do mean $275 apiece or for all four?"

YMMV

[misprintmagiccards]

If it's intended for four, it's a very deliberate and clever fraud. I don't know that the buyer is my best resource here...

When I try to make an offer on the item......this is what it shows..........so I've got to specify the per item price, along with the quantity I want.

The way I understand it, the offer is for the quantity indicated in the offer.  If it says 4, then they are offering that for all four items.   Maybe they are confused too, but unless you ask them to clarify, you may never know what they intended.

[cashvaluerecovery2011]

When you receive offers as a seller you should be seeing a per item price with a quantity of (x). Then a total.

Buyers use inexperience of sellers to manipulate them. I get a good offer on one item and accept and then the same buyer will proceed to make lots of low offers on other items knowing the combined shipping saves money.....but the offers arent worth it.

I know this doesn't really answer your question, but if that screenshot posted by @dhbookds is accurate and you have four competing offers already, I would decline them, yank the Make Offer option and wait to sell at full price instead (with Immediate Payment Required), which it appears might not take too long. Just my $.02...

That's probably good advice, but I actually have this situation on several listings, having never seen it before.

Sounds like you are looking at messages that came through eBay's

message system, not the offer system.

That wouldn't be official offers regardless what they say?

A lot of buyers do that for various reasons (some of them not so good)

but it is allowed.
