Private listing

[mybacon]

I had a last minute offer on an item, and I didn't get to it before the listing ended. I want to set it for that price for that buyer only.

I seem to recall hearing about makig a listing for just one seller.

Is that still an option?

How do I do it?

sellers use to be able to do this, but i don't think so anymore

recently, i created a BIN listing for a particular buyer. I told them to let me know when they were ready to pay, then I would make the listing live and send them the item number to put in the search engine.

worked out perfectly

@mybacon You aren't allowed to create a custom listing only for one person on eBay. There is a workaround that you can use. Create your listing as normal but make the price much higher. Add the buy it now button. Send the ID# to the interested buyer and tell them to submit an offer for the agreed upon price. You can then accept the offer and you have your sale. Best of luck to you....

I thought about that. I have the ID, but I have no idea how to get in contact with them.

Thanks!

there is a round about way to doing this. list the item with a high buy it now with offers. tell the buyer that have set it up so a certain offered price will be immediately accepted

I have created listings that simply say, in effect, "as we agreed" and left out any information as to what was actually in the listing. That way it is unlikely anybody else would click the buy now button. Then the headline was something obscure "One custom lot" which again would discourage others from buying it. Then send the item number to the buyer with instructions that it will only be live for some specific amount of time. Has always worked for me.

If you know the buyer ID you can go to their feedback page, and contact them through an eBay message.

@mybacon What I've done is go to the old offer and click on the user. You can work your way to their feedback page, which has a way to send a message to then. Then write out your message explaining how you can still sell them the item at the price they wanted. If they are still interested, they will reply to you.

Thank you!
