Making Offer limits

For the first time, I've listed a few items with Best Offer.

Somone made an offer which I declined and it says that they have "2 offers" remaining.

Is that within a certain time frame (ie: 24 hours), or if they reach the max of 3 offers Ebay doesn't allows them to offer again at all?

On that item the buyer has 2 more offers and there is no time limit.

That's the way it was years ago but knowing eBay, who knows what things are going to be tomorrow.

Dont decline offers, counter-offer with something you would accept, and feel free to offer the same figure again if they try to counter your counter.

 

Example

 

item price $100

 

1) bargain hunter offers $40

 

1) you offfer  $90

 

2) bargain hunter offers $50

 

2) you offfer  $90

 

3) bargain hunter offers $60

 

3) you offfer  $90

 

If they really want the item they will pay your price and still feel like they got the best deal they could. If you offered $85 for your third and final offer it might push them over the edge into a sale.

I also wouldn't engauge with them in conversation, it's a waste of time. Just a generic "thanks for your interest, I can offer $90"
