Watcher Offers Again

Hello,

 

Is it true that if you send an offer to an “offer eligible” watcher and then you get more watchers, you can’t send additional watcher offers for two days?  Two days is how long that first offer is good for.  You are locked out of additional offers until the first one expires.

 

If you hold off on sending that first offer and the watcher count goes to 5, sending an offer goes to all 5 of them.  Additional watchers at that point can’t get offers from you for the two days it takes for the first 5 to expire.

 

Doesn’t sound right to me.  What am I missing here?

 

Thank you in advance,

Tim

@macisthe1  - above is the link for the offers section.  Could not find the answer to your question and read thru this several times.  Your question is not specifically outlined in their "offers" detail.  My guess is that at the time you make the "offer", it is available to those e-bay deems eligible.  I know it will not let you edit or make any other changes while the "offer" is considered "live", so it would make sense no additional offers as well.

 

I do not use this feature much any more - did for a while, but it just never ended up being fruitful for us, so have abandoned it.  Hopefully, you will not need to send this to your *new* watchers and a current one will buy the item.  Good luck!

yes, it true. I've been stating this issue, and all the penny sellers argue about the situation. They have no idea since they can't afford to send out offer. 

 

Sidenote: You can't edit your listing as well. 

Complaint: This effect your sales also, they're blocking another watcher from accepting offer. Once that time period is up, it would be too late. 

Topic Discussion: Topic has been posted more as of 2023-2024. Too many problems with watcher and non-buyer. 

Troll: You can identify them by using a PC not a smart phone to see their asterisk username with their feedback record ( PC has more features than smartphones ability )

Creating Report To eBay: Once you identify the troll with the same user who constantly harassing you. Report them and tell your story that it is affecting your sales performance. They will monitor your account, permanently banned that user and all accounts. I've done it and can prove it. 

Result: They're working on issue right now as speak; we should see some changes soon. My account was an example: They saw what happen firsthand and immediately banned that user. I know some what detail about the changes but i will informed it.

 

Tip: I would not recommend you posting that information. All the penny seller and childish troll on here will make an example out of you. They will damage your account. I would recommend creating 2nd account when posting.  You will see who they're from the comments. 

 

Message me in the inbox: I will send you some proof if you wish to know more information regarding this. I can show you the problem that non penny seller is facing.
