Up to you how you want to view the offers.

 

Personally we would not ignore!

 

This person is actually looking at your item so that is a good thing.

 

If the offer is reasonable then perhaps you might accept and adjust the listing for them.

If the offer is ridiculous then send a message and let them know what lowest $'s you would accept.

If they accept- great, if they don't - great. No skin off your nose.

 

But at least you have some activity and people contacting you.

Remember their offer could be just a way to flush out what your lowest price is. And who knows they may accept your price.

 

It can be confronting when unsolicited offers arrive, (and sometimes ROFL time), but we just view it as someone trying to find out what we will accept. So we view it as a positive situation and start the conversation. But never ignore, or be rude back. 

Your choice, Good Luck.

I have tried to be tolerable of univited offers which I have received four of them today, asking for 15% to 20% and one 25% off already cheap prices which I am already losing money on. So I agreed to three of them, (just want to get stuff moving out of my overcrowded house) One never got back, the other haggled about postage costs for the two discounted items, messaged back and forth, do I take direct deposit, how much for combined postage, and then, "I'll let you know" I am not responding to that because I may not be able to continue to be polite. I don't know how long she expects me to keep the offer open. In future, I will just be telling them "this is a fixed price listing and offers have not been invited" On the flip side, I did ask a seller recently if the price was at all negotiable, as I had noticed most of her listings invited offers but not the one I was looking at.

Normally I would not ask, and did not think it right to put an $ offer, but just to ask was it negotiable. She ended up giving me a 10% discount, but I let her tell me if she would and how much, not the other way around.
