Respond to message with offer

[treasured_antiquities]

Did they eliminate the "Respond with Offer" option on Ebay messages from buyers?

This option is not appearing on my Ebay messages received any longer. 

I do not use/include the "Make an Offer" option on my listings but

did find the Respond with Offer option convenient at times &

did occasionally use that to respond to buyers.

See this thread from this morning:

https://community.ebay.com/t5/Selling/Sending-an-Offer-Invoice/td-p/27954018/jump-to/first-unread-me...

See the Help Page link there and read about the conditions and limitations.

Yes, the Send an Offer:  http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/private_offer.html 

is what I am referring to but the Offer button/link is missing from my messages now.

It is still showing on my initial messages, but if I get another message from the same potential buyer, then the offer box is no longer there.

That appears to be the issue. 

I was responding to a buyer that had messaged me before.

It does now show on a test message that I sent myself, from my Buying account.

Yep. I just go back to the initial message and send from there.

Also you won't get that button if the listing they ASQ about is an auction.
