I'm curious as to how these offers look to the buyers.
Do they actually get a message in their inbox to say the seller is making an offer?
Or does it show on the actual ad?
The reason I ask is there have been a couple of things I have been watching & they have prices of course but then there is some print just under it which says something like "This can be yours for (x dollars cheaper), click here to see how" and it gives a code to type in if you buy.
I have just assumed that those must be ebay wide discounts but it just occurred to me maybe that is how the best offers show? I don't know.
I have to admit, a bit of a discount being offered on an item is tempting, but it comes down to whether a person needs an item or not, I suppose.
I am not sure if a lot of people here would be using it, but there is a reward program that pays you a small % back of every purchase at absolutely hundreds of places-almost every business real & online that you can name, as long as you log on to the shop via the reward site. Ebay is one of the sites where a cash back reward was offered (on purchases over $50) but is currently not offering any cash back.
My guess is the cash back was being paid by ebay, not sellers.
I'm not saying sellers should offer discounts, just that buyers when they compare prices might factor any discounts in.
