make an offer - should be available for more than 24 hours

had a few offers over the past year when your away for a day or sick etc - and miss out on good solid make an offer - only 24 hours - which doesnt give much time to respond, not everybody checks their ebay every SINGLE day.

if youre like me been a member for nearly 20 years - there are the odd days when you cant quite get to check everything! however apparently it is possible to adjust 'buy it now' to 48 hours - looking to do that - and thanks for your input.

hey thanks for your input - have received some negative responses but may have to follow your idea to start contacting prospective buyers if miss original offer.

hey thanks for your input - i think youve got it wrong - these are offers that have been sent to me -not offers that i have made, however some people have suggested that you can change the timeline to 48hours - will pursue that idea.

Apologies for  my  mistake in an earlier post.

Offers to sellers are 24 hours.

Offers to buyers are 48 hours

Only been a member for 16 years, however given I sell on eBay, I make a point of daily checks.

I also know what my items are worth and don't solicit offers.

I am guessing I had things the wrong way around. I have been assuming you were a buyer who had offers sent to you and they expired before you got to see them.

I am a buyer and regularly get offers sent to me by sellers for items that are in my watch list.

But it seems you are a seller and these are offers sent to you by buyers?

I am assuming (I don't know for sure) that the buyer's ID is showing on the private message? What I would do in your situation is if a reasonable offer came in, I would reply to the offer and say hey, I realise it has expired but if you are still interested I can sell for that price.

Sometimes once an offer expires a buyer may just move on to other things and other sellers but you never know, some may reply, especially if it is very close to the time the offer expired.
