Time waster

[mich_plun]

There is a new buyer that made na offer for camera and I accepted. I get thi weird feeling they are one of those time wasters on my merchandise. I am feeling a little annoyed.

I have multiple people who want to buythe camera but I must waste for this random person to complete thier transaction. Panasonic Lumix GH4 16MP Professional 4K Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera

Better not to accept offers if you really need to have the buyer follow through - you can always lower the price on a immediate payment required basis.  Yes, it's super annoying, I agree.  I've been stiffed before, too.

     This is just one of a multitude of reasons I quit using Best Offer years ago.

The only advantage to BO that I can see as a seller is a chance to vet your buyer.

As a buyer I wonder how much you know about your product if you are not sure what it is worth.

My opinion.

Auctions = Time waster.

Best offer = Time waster.

Unless this was fixed price, immediate payment required, your buyer has 4 days to pay.

After 96 hours, with no payment, you can cancel, citing buyer did not pay as the reason and you can offer it to second highest bidder, or relist.

If it's still within that time frame, why are you feeling annoyed?

That item is showing in your active listings, not as a Sold item. When a seller accepts an offer, any other active offers just immediately expire, so if you currently have other active offers that's further evidence that your acceptance didn't "take" and you should send another offer.
