Make An Offer

[hilux22r]

Why do Ebay allow sellers to have , make an offer option if they do not respond to the offer, I have encountered this many times over a period with multiple different sellers and none of them even respond . Ebay should be actively stamping this behaviour out . In the meantime, while waiting for the offer to expire i sometimes will not buy from other sellers while waiting for an answer that never comes . I then go to bricks and mortar shops and will shop and purchase locally from those stores and give Ebay a miss for a few months costing other honest sellers a chance to sell items .

Why have / offer it and then ignore genuine buyers .

Ask the seller why

Or ask eBay why

Sellers are not obligated to respond

Especially if it happens to be a low ball offer

eBay also have been known to insert offers without the seller's knowledge

eBay do not know or care if you buy elsewhere

There is a lot of behaviour eBay should 'stamp out'

100% up to you if you make the choice not to buy from someone else

If you are that unhappy with the seller not responding within the timeframe you want them to, why would you want to buy from them anyway?  Buy from the other seller and if the best offer seller does respond, simply tell them they made you wait too long

If the offer was reasonable, then their loss for not responding.  If the offer was insultingly low, then no wonder they didn't respond.
