You’re right, low ball offers keep coming… but it’s not the end of the earth to say NO!

I do......it's when they don't understand NO! When someone says NO politely it's time for them to go away nicely, if they don't that's when it's time to change the attitude. LOL. Thanks for watching.

Just set your minimum offer to decline below the lowest you’re willing to take. That’s what I do and I avoid 95% if those type of interactions. Just takes a couple of seconds to add it to your listing. That way when I receive an offer I accept it about 99% of the time. Easy peasy.

My only issue is I have to set that for all and that just takes time. I tried it and I just didn't like it. So, I forge on with just best offer. Thanks for watching.

Funny that you mentioned this, as it just happened to us, put our store on sale 15% off, and a buyer messages us, asking for even more of a discount, kinda rude if ya ask me! 😀 as always, thanks for the videos Golden State Picker!!! 😊

You bet! Thanks for watching

that just comes with the territory of having best offer, I only have best off on items 40 dollars and up, if it doesn't sell I can always drop the price gradually. this keep my ASP up. I think you can auto reject offers as well.

🥰🥰🥰 Thanks, enjoy the content

11:18 I love doing that. Dollar General, with all their receipts has a coupon to save $5 off of any $25 order on the following Saturday. I go in DG a lot. I always get the $5 off coupons and if I'm in there on a Saturday and I see someone who has what looks like at least $25 worth, I give them a $5 off coupon and it feels so good. I use to do a lot for people and now I'm one of the people who has to have help, which sucks, but I can still give out $5 coupons on Saturday! :) 26:15 I hate mailing to Alaska because of the shipping, but I love mailing to Alaska because Alaska is the biggest thing on my bucket list as a place I want so much to visit. And just knowing that something that belonged to me now lives in Alaska is, while not too close, it is probably going to be the closest I ever get to being there.

Nice. That's a good coupon. Thanks again for watching.

Those low balls r annoying cheers Graham

i don’t know but it always annoys me when a buyer asks “ Hey what’s the lowest you can do on this item?” To me thats a red flag of a lowballer. how about what is the highest you can offer first? now that’s better. 🙂

Thanks Mike!

So far down the list.

While watching this video I got an offer of $12 for a New Era baseball hat that is brand new. I am asking $27 with BO. I too wanted to just reject but gave them a counter at $23. Don't blame them for trying but the follow up low ball offers are annoying. 🙄

Or don’t accept offers at all. Gets rid of 99% of these low ballers. Only a handful of people will message asking for a lower price

I just keep wondering when savers will do what goodwill did and save all the good stuff for their online auction site....sad....wish it was still like savers is...we dont have savers.

I don't think they are capable of turning that on, but never say never.

eBay buyers can be the absolute worst.

Three years ago I got a lot (like 40) office telephones at an online auction of a radio station that shut down. Didn't pay much at all. I sold a few over the three years. Today a guy messaged me and wanted as many as I could sell him. I told him I would give all of them to him for $175 free shipping. I really wanted to get rid of them. He told me he would give me $350 if I would clean all of them and test them. One problem. Office phones have to be hooked up to a phone system. I was not able to test them for him. He decided to buy them for the $175 as is. I am so happy to be rid of all those phones. I won't be buying office phones anymore. LOL It took three years to make money on them.

Yeah, we all have some items like that laying around.

Mike, I appreciate your videos and positive attitude. Where do you get your bins of books and the boxes?

@goldenstatepicker

3 ай бұрын

Find those bins in big city thrift stores. Not all GOODWILLS put there books on AMAZON.

To be fair, most people don't notice that the item is already on sale. They just see the price. They also aren't all savvy to how each person negotiates in the online spectrum. If you only want to discount by 20%, you can control the % of discounted offer to notify you. Worst case scenario, just tell them, you will not negotiate beneath set dollar amount. End of the day, it's part of our job. It's customer service. We don't all like it, but it only takes a few minutes per day. The same way some people don't like listing or packing, these are some of the less glamorous but equally important parts of running an Ebay store. If they send three failed offers, they go away.

I've done that too. Many just annoy you with a bump of $1 knowing it will piss ya off. That's why I just block and move.

@@goldenstatepicker I block a lot of buyers who do that. Some people just get off on being a jerk. I don't choose to play their game. Because I'm the boss and I DON'T HAVE TO.

I'll get low ballers all the time. If I am asking $40, they will offer $10. I just respond with "best and final offer $35". Either they step up, or they don't. About a quarter of them step up.

Ebay now doing unlimited listings no fees? ✌🏻💚✌🏻💚🙏🏻

Hmmm Mercari.

I recently blocked a potential buyer. An item I listed for $83.50 (only a month listed) had done all my research prior to listing. I did send out an offer. One responded with a $23.50 offer, the person had several thousand feedback. I don't need that - BLOCK.

That's the way to do it. Thanks for being a ling time watcher

As always I appreciate you sharing the finds and the knowledge... but I gotta say, I don't get the sellers that use Best Offer & then complain about the low ball offers. While it might take a few more seconds, the best part of the Best Offer is setting the High -Low parameters. If they send a low ball below your "lowest" acceptable price, you never even see it. I feel you guys spend more brain energy getting triggered & going back & forth with the low ballers. Just my 2 cents. Thanks for sharing!

For me it is more time. And then I forget etc. So, I just leave BO on and deal with it. I'm really talking about the ridiculous offers that really burn me.

What’s going on with your eBay feedback being so low in the last year? Do you have a plan in place to get it on the right track?

@goldenstatepicker

3 ай бұрын

I personally don't worry about that at all. The ones that leave feedback are either scammers etc. I leave appropriate responses. My sales grow each year. Sometimes people need to be told to go away! That's me straight forward. My plan.......keep doing what I do. SELL STUFF ON EBAY AND AMAZON.

Why cares clearly it isn't hurting his sales. If you are selling an item that is valuable people will buy it if they want it bad enough no matter your useless feedback

"Hey whats the best you can do on this here save us some time with the back and forth." I respond "Sorry I do not negotiate through messaging". Drives me crazy just offer up, spit some numbers in and that will save us the back and forth.

That's another one. You have BO set and they ask you what's the best. WHY? afraid we will accept their offer. Drives me crazy too.
