sending buyers offers

[flanagan-laneantiques]

I had heard about sending buyers un-solicited offers and last night while on ebay I was reviewing my active listings and I got a page that allowed me to send buyers an offer. I sent a bunch of offers and surprise surprise, I got a sale out of it.  Now I want to send some more offers but I can't find that page anywhere! has anyone else tried this?

(This is my posting ID) Saw this option on the app while working on listings yesterday...

Might use it for slow moving items, but usually I price at what I want to get for my merch. Does anyone know...once the offers are sent are they good for limited time only? 

[dhbookds]

Yes......only good for 2 days

[dhbookds]

I should add that I got a sale even tho the offer expired I think.  Sent the offer for xx.95..... time expired and someone send me an offer for xx.95 +.05,  so I'm guessing the same person who got the offer but didn't see it til it expired.  I took it, of course.

Thanks for the screen shot, I am going to try and find it again, I guess I have to hit the edit button to find more options. I will let you know how I make out.

[ekmadonna]

I don't have it, I brought up the exact screen shot you showed on my seller hub and all I have is the "SHOW ELIGIBILITY" circle , the "PROMOTED LISTINGS" circle check box and "NONE" circle check box there is no circle check box for "OFFER TO BUYERS", I really would like to have access to this feature, a blue stated yesterday in community chat that EVERYONE should have this feature by now and I still do not?

I use the feature when it pops up - if the current item price merits a discount -  but haven’t made a sale from it yet.

Do you have items with watchers?  If not the button may not appear.

For me this implementation is rather useless with 1000 items and only a few with watchers.  I guess I could filter to only show listings with watchers (or sort) but time marches on and I only have so much to jump through all the ridiculous hoops eBay now has in place.

[ekmadonna]

Yes I have items with 5 watchers, 10 watchers and many many with 2 -4 watchers.

Have you tried a different browser? or clearing your cache?

Other than that, I got bupkis

Here's the workaround:

https://www.ebay.com/mys/active?ssPageName=STRK:ME:LNLK:MESEX

just scroll down til you find them

Tyler had to get it for me.......maybe he can do it for you.......

Thanks Very much, now I see them but HOW do I get to that page or layout from my seller hub? I do not seem to have that format or I just can't figure out how to pull it up?

[dhbookds]

You can't get to it thru seller hub unless Tyler or someone opts you in  (at least I presume the roll out of the feature is complete)....  somehow some people were left out such as you (and me)..... 

You can use that link (bookmark it) until you get opted in........

[tyler@ebay]

Thanks for the tag @dhbookds!

Hi @ekmadonna - the feature should have been rolled out to all members on eBay.com, but it looks like there were some accounts that were missed. We're in the process of getting everyone in still. I've passed your account on to see if we can get you added quicker. 

Thanks!

The offers end in 48 hours.

Tyler that is greatly appreciated, I really like this new feature both as a buyer on my main buying account of which I have had numerous offers rolling in on items on my watch list in the past week or so AND I would love to have this available to me on this account my selling accoun ASAP. I did just send out around 100 offers through dhbooks link. Thank you again DH- Hope to muster some sales through this feature. I bookmarked the link and am crossing my fingers I can access that page again as needed! thanks again to all the help!!
