Offers expired

[preluvdstuff]

Hello, I sent offers to 5 interested parties for one of my items.  My sent offers expired and now it says the same item is eligible to send offers.  When I click to send offers it say 5 interested parties will receive the offer.  Is it just sending the offer to the same 5 people?

I'd assume maybe it is?

It's a nothing burger.

Who cares?

Check to see if there are actual watchers or just views. They are not supposed to authorize offers to the same people, but they probably do.

They are now in the business of irritating buyers with high pressure sales tactics on our behalf. I am now very careful about offers I sent out, since my price checking has recently resulted in a flood of offers.

Watchers/viewers can only receive one Seller-Initiated Offer per item, period.  They will never receive it again.  Those 5 should be users that didn't receive the earlier offer for whatever reason (hadn't viewed/watched your item yet probably).

Thanks very much

Watchers may have had the item on their Watch List for months.

Viewers looked at the item in the past 30 days.

Personally I only send out Offers when there are Viewers, for that reason.

eBay claims that a user will not receive multiple offers for the same listing.

@preluvdstuff   I'm sorry you got the wrong answer early on.   @luckythewinner  & @brightlightbookseller  are correct, it is NOT going to the same people.  At least eBay says it's not & I believe them b/c often a buyer will let my offer expire & ask me to send another & I am UNABLE to send them one b/c I already have.  

@aproudparent2010  You know what happens when you assume 😉  For future reference, your assumption is incorrect.  They do NOT go to the same people.

My assumption is based on the fact that last week I got an offer from a seller for some vitamins and t I declined then just earlier today I got an offer on those same vitamins but it was a different percentage off then the original offer...

I'm basing my answer on the fact that last week I received a 10% off offer on vitamins from a seller and decline their offer and then just earlier today I received a 15% off offer on those same vitamins from the same seller

@aproudparent2010  Interesting, that is not supposed to happen.  I have been stopped countless times from doing so, always when the buyer actually requested it.  I don't even get as far as the screen that let's me select the offer amount.  I click to make an offer & I get an error message saying 'too many offers'.  

Also, we cannot send additional offers to others, until the current ones expire.  I'd sure like to know how they managed that.

Shouldn't be possible but I wondered same thing

@chariot_badges 

I know two people who care -- OP and myself.

[pickapaper]

In my experience, if you try to send an offer and it is to someone to which you have already sent an offer, a red message will pop up that says it is not eligible for offers.    (It took me a while to figure out why that red message was popping up on some offers I was trying to send.)
