Discussing best offer amount with other bidders

I'm selling a bracelet at auction that's very difficult to accurately price since it's value is fluid and  only really determined by the highest bidder. I listed it with a best offer option and the offers I've received are much higher than expected and I'm curious if it would be rude, distasteful or against the rules to inform buyer who've made offers where the highest offer currently sits? I expected to sell between $200-$300, it's at $398 with 3 days to go and I've gotten an offer for $600 and just got an offer for $1,200! I'm lost, in shock, and don't want to miss out on a possible higher auction price at close. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!

Sorry you found some responses to be disrespectful and not helpful.

If i understand you your auction started out with a BIN option. As long as you have no bids yet you can accept one of the offers. This is not real estate you either accept one or the other. That is my understanding.

Yes, I thought I had accepted the option to accept offers which I know I would be under no obligation to accept, however, I did not click the option allowing for offers I believe these were people either trying to scam me or trying to buy outside of eBay honestly not sure it's still fairly new to this process.

You can wait or send counter offers but you may lose both. Or send a counter offer to a and not b. Or wait for other offers if you have time left.

Go to your photos (revise).  You'll see all the frames you inserted your pictures into.  On the top left hand side of the frame, there is a little pencil that will show up when you swipe your cursor over it.  Click the pencil and you can brighten, sharpen, contrast, crop and remove the background.  That's the last option to the right.  Play with it and see if it can brighten up your photos.  It's a good tool.  

 

Happy Selling

As long as you have no bidders you can revise your listing. Open your listing on the top left you will see revise listing click on that and drop down to the selection see buying options click on that and choose what type of listing you want. If you have any problems just check back were here.
