Why can't a sell to a buyer at an agreed price? 2nd offer!?!
A buyer made an offer of $20, i countered with $23, and sent him the new offer. He said he could only do $21.50, i agreed, but i cannot send him a new offer with the new agreed upon price, nor can i revise the listing to reduce the price.
Why is eBay blocking my sales? I have a buyer and an agreed on price, but i can't sell it. Almost tempted to sell off eBay, not to avoid fees, but to actually sell to the interested buyer.

OP3 years agothanks for all the responses! The solution was that the buyer needed to formally reject the offer before i could send a new one.

·3 years agoLooks like the buyer decided to pay the full price in the end, as there is no "best offer accepted" on the item.

·3 years agoIf papermoons suggestion doesn't work, you could change listing to buyer's preferred price and let them know your work-around.

OP3 years agoWas unable to edit the listing whilst the original offer was still within the 24hrs period

·3 years agoI cannot edit my message any more. What I mean is... the buyer should see a link or a button to send you a new offer/counteroffer. But as offers and counteroffers (as the link I gave you states) are only valid for 24 hours, he should be quick, or if your counteroffer expires, he can send you a new offer at the agreed price (if he hasn't already submitted 3 offers).

·3 years agoMaybe it is the buyer who should send you a new counteroffer rather than just a message stating the price he/she would like to pay?
I have accepted counteroffers (as a buyer), but have never sent a new counteroffer, so I am not sure exactly how it works, but it appears that the buyer can negotiate a counteroffer (or send a new offer/counteroffer):
