Is anyone willing to share their levels of success with using the "send offers to buyers" feature?
I'm currently at 0 sales from 22 offers sent.
I usually knock 10 - 15% off the BIN price. Still no interest from the watchers.
Funny thing is 6 of the items I sent offers to, have since sold at full price.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Not replying to anyone in particular...
If you reduce the price ebay will most likely send an email to any watchers telling them of the price reduction. A friend of mine decided to use that and try to get some interest but it was a waste of time.
I reckon if something's going to sell, it'll sell, and if it ain't going to sell, it ain't - at least not until it's ready to. My experience is that all the tweaking in the world is just a waste of time, or most of it is. I just have to wait until ebay gives me my turn at sales.

As a buyer I have had several sellers send offers to me.
I have not been able to take advantage of any of the offers as I have no funds available at the moment for anything but very necessary purchases.
Several of the items were Christmas decorations....the offers would have been very welcome nearer to the appropriate time but certainly did not come under the heading of necessary purchases.
Several of the offer amounts were laughable....a 50cent discount on a $25 item.....also a 50cent discount on a $15.99 pair of hand knitted gloves. To me, discounts like that are a waste of time.....it needs to be at least 5% but preferably 10%.

i tried it for the first time the other day after hesitating for a long time. no joy.
will stick to not sending offers, because as a buyer; i'd hate to be bombarded for unsolicited offers. if i wanted to buy the item, i would just go to my watch list and purchase it.

Yes I had success on another account with a sale the day after the offers I sent out expired. Bit like when someone sends you a low offer and you reply with slightly more and they never respond then the item sells the following week for full price.
