How do you set up automatic accept / decline on Best Offer?

bigbad64 — Fri, 20 Nov 2015 04:59:03 GMT

I'm trying to do the above for a Fixed Price Sale, and when I revise my item and tick the "Best Offer" check box I get no other boxes appearing which would anable me to automatically accept / reject offers above / below a certain price.

See the attached picture.

Hovering over the little"i" just gives a little blurb about what Best Offer is.

Everything I've googled says I should get other stuff appearing underneath when I tick that Best Offer checkbox but it's not happening.

Ok I worked it out.

go into your listing you are setting up. scroll down to the choose format and price section. Right next to that heading there is a blue clickable link that says add or remove options. click on it.

In the new page click on format and price. you will see there is most likely a tick in the box for Set a minimum selling price for your item when listing as auction-style, if there is untick it then retick and save. The other section should now be in your listing.

There isn't any blue clickable link as you have described - only what is in the photo I attached above.

I have subsequently received an offer, and after I reviewed it and responded I was able to access another page where I could set the accept / decline limits. (New photo attached - able to click the link highlighted in yellow and do the settings)

Not a logical set-up but got there in the end.

Rather than clicking the fast list on the right hand side of the item, you tick the box to select the item in your selling list and select revise at the bottom of the list. That should take you into the long version of the listing where that feature will be available.

I think the OP is using the quick listing tool as opposed to the advanced. I don't think you can set the option up when creating the listing in the quick lister.

That happens automatically as soon as the Best Offer option is ticked, in the advanced Sell Your Item form, anyway.

There is no need to go through the Add/remove options process and select the option to be able to set reserves on auctions.

Do you really think I would of have spent my time doing this if it was as simple to get it to show once the option was ticked. seriously you need a hobby.

You don't know anywhere near enough about me to be able to say what I need.

Secondly, the option has always appeared on all of my accounts as soon as the Best Offer function has been ticked without the need to select option to be able to set a reserve on auctions, and it seems very strange one would ever need to have that in place when Best Offer can only be used on Buy It Now listings - they have nothing to do with each other at all, and never have - at least in my experience, and I've gone in and checked which options I have ticked but the reserve option wasn't, so at least one of us is experiencing an anomaly.

If you have a problem with me posting information that conflicts with what you've posted, then that's exactly what it is - your problem.
