Make An Offers

So I have a make an offer on most of my listings. Lately I’m running into a lot of people making me a somewhat low offer which is fine. I come back with a counter offer. Then they counter offer me at 50 cents lower than my counter offer. I feel like I shouldn’t even respond. I really don’t care about the 50 cents. It’s just the principle of it all. What is everyone’s opinion? Should I ignore the counter offer or just go back at my original price. It’s just a waste of time for me.

Re: Make An Offers

For most of my items I am the only person in the world who makes/sells them.  So I do not suffer lowball offer/counteroffer **bleep** well.   If someone lowballs ridiculously and/or is rude I reject the offer, raise the price, and inform them they are the reason for the price increase.  I would rather they google it and find my website anyway.

Accept, decline, or ignore--all are acceptable seller behavior in the eyes of eBay.

Re: Make An Offers

you forgot "block".  Block these DBs.  The reason they do it in our society is because people let them.

Re: Make An Offers

I understand your point, Customers have gotten ridiculous with their offers, However for 50 Cents just except the offer & take the win.

Re: Make An Offers

I have best offer on all my listings with a minimum set

I accept all offers (since I don't see lowballs)

I have also found that countering an offer doesn't work

I have also found this from most countries except Japan, Japanese buyers are very different, they send an offer which I counter and explain why and the usually accept my counter offer, also if I ignore and dont respond to an offer from Japan when there offer times out they often come back and buy as full price.

 

WARNING: 

Just because you have best offer set on eBay.com that does NOT mean best offer will be a function on other eBay sites because its not!

I disagree, I am not the OP, you must be missing something about "principal".


I did not miss the "principal".

I was mocking it. 

The OP explicitly invited negotiation, for heaven's sake.
