If I understand my friends rambling this morning he uses the 50 for free listings ebay has been auto inserting BO in the listings he gets lowball offers which he refuses and has been getting charged a listing fee on the items he refused the offers on. A call to CS and he was told he had a chance to sell the item and refused and all refused offers will charged a listing fee....

I'm confused. The thread is about a 35 cent fee being charged if sellers don't add best offer to their listings.

Now there's a report that a 35 cent fee is being charged if a seller does use best offer but declines an offer? Does that also happen if a threshold is set to auto-decline?

Is this the usual it only applies to "new and occasional" sellers using the quick tool or is this a roll-out that's going to impact everyone's listings in some way?

We really need clarification from eBay about what's going on.

Then you either misunderstood what your buddy said, or your buddy is clueless. No one has said anything, in ANY thread, about being charged for declining an offer. And that's not what this thread is about. So please don't hijack it; start your own.

How is this a hijack? It has to do with this seemingly new unannounced practice by eBay of adding unannounced fees to promotions. If this is happening, all of the people concerned about the topic of this thread need to know about it because they're all talking about using BO to get the promo but then declining offers.

Besides, there's always a first person to sound an alarm about one of these nutty changes. No one else is talking about it...YET... would be my guess.

This sounds like another "sell your phone at a guaranteed price" type move by eBay that's just full of GOTCHAs. It seems plausible given eBay's history of making these things as confusing and restrictive as possible.

I think you owe the poster you are baselessly attacking an apology, frankly. This isn't even "your" thread!

This thread is about whether eBay is charging sellers to list/revise without including the Best Offer option. The alleged charging of fees if a seller REFUSES an offer should be on its own thread.

It's all related. Why do we need separate threads to discuss issues related to the OP?

The OP says nothing about being charged for refusing to accept an offer.

They FORCE best offer on you, then charge you if you refuse any offer. Do you really fail to see the correlation there?

Now, this is what I call a hijack.

There's one "report", second-hand at that, from a poster with an "interesting" track record, about being charged for refusing a buyer's offer. I think it's bogus, and shouldn't distract from the documented case of the 35 cent fee for not including the option.

[abfabvintage]

Charging to decline an offer and charging to add the offer are somehow related I would think? Why go through multiple threads to find the next glitch OR new policy? Nice and compact all being discussed here related to Best Offer. Unless people want to read multiple and multiple threads? Not me. Charging is charging.

I don't believe "charging for refusing an offer" actually exists.

So you take it upon youself to call it out as "bogus", and then tell people they shouldn't be discussing it because YOU believe it's bogus? Really?

Exactly. Beyond comprehension, mean- spirited, and counterproductive.

I said it should be in a separate thread. Not here, distracting from a documented issue. Have any of the blues bothered to respond about the fee for not including the option?

[hioctane62]

No, this back and forth is distracting from the thread, and this is my last post about it. No blue has responded to this thread at all, but if they do, maybe they can answer both questions, since both related questions are here in the same thread.
