So late last night I put something on my Watch List that I'm planning on buying when I have more time to look at a few options.
My phone just chimed. "Discounted Item Update: Discounted by $xx. Was $xx - Now $xx. Item Title"
I didn't know it would do that. I've been dead set against lowering my item prices directly and have been using Markdown Manager instead.
Now it's got me wondering if I should do it with some of the old stuff, but then again I just packed up two 'old stuff' items today that didn't have any bells or whistles.
They do need different sounds though! I was crossing my fingers that it wasn't a Message from a buyer with a cocern, a Return Request or something else that makes you cringe a bit. I thought it could've been a watched item ending thing too.

That's been happening for awhile now. You may or may not get a sale out of it when a potential buyer gets that message.

Guess I don't watch enough items that get their price lowered on my other ID.
This ID isn't linked to my phone.

I have tried many times to attract a sale to an item with watchers by lowering the price knowing they would get a notification. So far I have not made a single sale with that particular tactic.

I get these messages from eBay even for things I've only viewed, no watch list, no add to cart.
Into your life it will creep

I regularly lower prices a dollar or two when I see I have a watcher. I change the price so it ends in .49 or .99 so I can tell it was a watched item, then I add a penny if I need to list it again. If I decide to lower a price "just because", I end it in .01, again just so I can keep track if a lower price makes the sale. I don't believe I've ever gotten the "send an offer" message that some have mentioned, but I wouldn't send an offer of only a buck off. Glad to know they are sending notices of lowered prices.
They didn’t say it was your fault. They said they blame you.

I've tried lowering my price by 10% or more when ebay advises me that the option is available in my available listings.
So far, not one sale. Waste of time.

Just purchased an item a couple of days ago due to the reduced price
Tried to buy a send watcher an offer item a few months ago but some glitch prevented my buying the unsold one of a kind item at the reduced offer price. C.S. couldn't help

Sometimes things sell better when you raise the price.
May not work if selling the same stuff as a gazillion other sellers.
