Usually if someone offers me a lower price, I usually try and meet them in the middle. For example item selling for $30, they offer $20. I counter offer $25. If it means im still making profit on the items original cost, postage + ebay fee considered. Or if the item has been in my stock a while and difficult to sell I just try and make sure I atleast break even, usually about $1 profit. The danger with auctions is you can end up selling things at a loss, the market is so unpredictable.

Or, as you have no bids, you can revise the listing and add the 'best offer' option

Let the buyer know when you've done that as if someone places a bid, the best offer option disappears.

You have no bids.

As a lot of your auctions have gone through unsold repeatedly, if you're happy with the buyer's offer , you can revise the listing , lower the starting price and let the buyer know.

If they place a bid, you can end the listing, selling to the highest bidder.

It's entirely up to you
