I totally agree, this is a continuing problem.

 

On all my items, I have not one 'Make an Offer" lot listed.

 

Yet, emails come in virtually every day with the most crazy, low, less than I paid for it "offers" on material I have already priced at rock bottom most of the time.

 

How does one respond?

 

Do you:

 

A) Ignore and Delete and thus look to be a rude seller who doesn't reply.

 

B) Respond, pointing out that the costs of selling by the eBay/Paypal/Free Postage/GST Registered business model involves high fees and that they are taken into account when setting the price.

 

Niether approach seems very promising.

I have the same problem here with unsolicited offers on many of my items and I used to reply and apologise, telling them that the high cost of selling made it impossible for me to accept any less than the prices listed, which were already at rock-bottom anyway, until late last year when I rejected offers on 2 of my items, and the very next day they were purchased at the listed prices by this fellow, who then immediately trashed my DSRs (clearly out of spite) by marking everything at 2 or 3 and causing me to receive 2 defects. I complained to eBay but they weren't the least bit interested.

So now, if I receive any unsolicited offers, I ignore them and immediately place the sender's name on my BBL.
