ebay "best offer" feature

<< < (3/3)

AbyssDJ:
best offer is crap if you're a seller. a while ago they changed the way you could contact members...

you USED to be able to respond to a best offer and for example say "nope wont accept £200 but ill take £250" but all you can do now is accept or decline. they've almost completely stopped you sending messages too.

really annoying for me, because its rare that the best offer is any use... but in the instance that its close, theres no way to get in touch with the person making the offer

you should be able to find their user name, and contact user that way...?

The problem there is ebay partially hide the user name of anyone making a best  offer making it nearly impossible to contact them - best hope is that they up their offer  :wink:

almost there! they partially hide the user name AND only show a small amount of users in the search results... naturally, the one you want is never there.

i have only ever found the user that made the offer once... tried to send a message, and was greeted (AFTER messing with the stupid verification code) by a message that basically says "ebay has just ignored your message, because we want to - it hasnt been sent".
