Remove an item from the 'Send Offers - Eligible' list

[collectorsmantle]

When someone watches an item, the item is added to the 'Send Offers - Eligible' list. I send out offers for some, but there are a few items I just don't want to make an offer to the watcher for. These item stay in the list which is annoying. 

Is it possible to remove an item from the 'Send Offers - Eligible' list?

Without the ability to remove these, my only thought is to raise the price of the item enough to send an offer at the real price that I am willing to sell it thereby removing it from the list.

Thanks.

I wish I knew a way.  I have the same frustration & sometimes they stay out there for weeks.  Eventually, they do fall off the eligible list, but it can take a long time.

I'm not OP, but hoping to get some new eyes on this, as it's something that drives me crazy as well.

Anyone know if there's a way to remove items from the eligible list?

I have the same issue. So I send them a 5% discount or lower if it is over $100.00 to get it off my list. I don't know of a way to just remove it. I would like to hear the answers.

UPDATE!

Today I figured out how to get them off my list. I ended the item and relisted it. Poof, it's gone!

Well, yeah, that'll do it, but I don't really want to do that, if it's a newly listed item (which it usually is).  Though no one has posted, so I'm guessing there isn't a way.

You have problems, I have solutions! 😃

I'm late to this party, but I can tell you that I don't know of a way to keep one from showing on the 'Send Offer Eligible' list.

When I get that, I take them down and leave them in unsold. Then I reprice them a few weeks later and put them back up. The watchers will be gone, so if someone wants to watch the new item they can't be annoyed about the price increase because it's a new listing.

You beat me to it... only I relist at a higher price. Often times people watch items that are priced too low for me to want to sell at that price, so I take the warning and take it down and relist at a higher price.

What stinks about raising the price of the item and then sending an offer for everyone to get ONLY as a watcher is that it makes your item less competitive on its initial search pricing...

[comics_from_mars]

Exactly. The "send offer" option needs to go all together. It's a complete waste, and it only helps people who sell items for ridiculously high prices (most people on here).

I have a lot of success sending offers to buyers.  The flip side with ending the item is, it counts as a listing when you repost.  But, still a good option if you don't want to look at it anymore

You have 250 free listings if you don't have a Store.
If you subscribe to a Basic Store, you pay $25  or so monthly for up to 1000 listings,  and often get promotional Free Listings.

On one of my accounts that does subscribe to a Store*, I have 1000 included listings (at 2.5c each) plus 10,000 FREE listings as a promotion that has been going on for over a year.

You have 450+ listings, so without a Store you are paying about $70 a month for listings.

*I actually list on both dotCOM and my home Canadian site. When we do that we double the number of listings included in our Store subscriptions.

We do have to list in the currency of the listing site, and use Flat Rate shipping for the 'foreign' one.
