Did not see that i had an offer on an item

[jq927]

I was away from my computer for a few days & missed that someone made an offer on one of my listings.  Is there a way to find that person and ask them to re-issue the offer?

[kensgiftshop]

No, unless they submit another offer.

[bonanza125]

Don't bother. It's more of a hassle.

IF you are willing to accept the lower price just drop your BIN price to that lower price the buyer originally offered. 

If a potential buyer made an offer for the lower price surely someone else will be willing to buy at that lower price.

If you had " Make Offer' on that listing and they made an offer you should be able to Manage Offers on that listing and view buyer ID, no?

When you're selling on ebay you should never "be away from your computer for a few days". You should check at least once a day. What if you sold something that needed to be shipped out?

Your phone is a computer.

For some reason "Manage Offers" does not show any received or sent offers, and hasn't for a while. I used to be able to see all offers sent and received at a glance there, with the buyer and the price sent/received. Now there is no way (that I know of) to see who or what price was sent to a potential buyer, which can cause confusion. (Maybe I am missing something?)

Why not add the app to your phone home page and enable badge notifications?
That way you don't have to fire up the desktop to stay current.

Selling on line is a 7/24/365 and every 4 yr a 366 activity for both buyers and sellers many are in different time zones and in some places it is already the next day (re.  International date line  - out west of  Hawaii).  Sellers need to check out their activity  at  least once a day.  If you are going to be a way for  an extended period put  your account on Vacation/Away mode.

Wouldn't worry about this  lost  opportunity.  If one  has  to wait over 3  days for a seller to reply - several things could and/or would  happen - 1.) they bought  the item from another seller 2.) decided to pass on your listing due to  lack of a sense of urgency 3.) they  might  consider buying from  you  but a "mite" is a very small insect.  Live and learn

When I was away from  home  would log on to a PC somewhere to see what  was going on w/eBay stuff - at a motel/hotel they  have business centers for guests or at  friends  or family  they  most usually have a home PC ask to borrow,  last choice  access my  smarter than me phone and muddle my fingers across that screen and open the eBay  app and cuss a lot when I hit the wrong  place on that screen.  A long  shot go to  a local library

Were your vacation / time-away settings adjusted for your absence?

When someone makes you an offer, doesn't it comes up in your messages?

This is true.

@jq927  go to ebay messages and click on "From eBay", you will find messages eBay sent with offers from buyers.

The message will show the buyer name with an active link to their account and there you can select "Contact" to be able to send the buyer a message. 

You can change the price of the item and let the buyer know and they can use Buy It Now.
