I have a feeling send offers are not getting received to interested parties

[eskays15]

I send so many send offers daily to potential buyers at very good discounted rates and lately hardly any are accepted if any at all. I have a suspicion potential buyers are not actually receiving these from ebay.

Anyone else have a thought about this ?

I will put 1 of your items on my watch list, and will let you know…..

Just got an offer on your Skechers…

[eskays15]

ok cool thank you for helping out. So I guess either people just miss seeing the offer or do not wish to purchase.

…or your competition is watching you. 
You can assume by looking at the dates of views vs watchers

I think a lot of problems are now caused by 'automatic' offers, often sent  by sellers who don't realise they're enabled.

That was okay until eBay started sending them to  buyers who just 'looked' at items, not just have them on their  watched list.

Buyers are getting  fed up with being inundated with offers for items they're not interested in, so  I think many switch them  off  in their buyer settings.

Yeh I did turn off Automatic offers recently.

I look at many items, for various reasons. Most of these are not on my watch list. The offers still come like a swarm of locusts.

I agree; too many offers received become counterproductive.

I'd block a seller spamming me if I dare look at an item.

I've said this before on this forum.  Spend your time on building your business and not spamming people.  I've never once sent an offer to a buyer and never will.

One caveat, though…

I do accept offers on occasion.

It’s only that they’re too overwhelming in number; that’s part of the problem. The other part is that I don’t want a “forced” discount of which the seller isn’t cognisant. I find that offensive and outrageous; eBay should not be stealth-discounting as though they were acting on the seller’s explicit instructions.
