Why is it, that when you advertise an item on buy it now for £425... there always some cheeky moron, who thinks its realistic to offer £150..

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !

Don't take it personally, just decline and move on. Like most things in life, if you don't ask you don't get.

Because everyone hopes they will get a bargain sometime in their lives and the world is full of chancers also hoping the seller is so stupid/broke that he/she will be glad to accept the first offer that comes along ;-D

Would you take £175?

I know what you mean! I am selling my dads motorbike on a BIN for just over £2k. The first offer came in at £521.21!

The same buyer made 10 more offers in increments of £50.

Bless em. I suppose that if they don't ask, they won't get!

thought you could only make one offer? your best offer and if that was rejected you had to big for it or BIN

I have had a bidder make more than 1 offer for the same item so I don't think it is restricted.

Is it not 3 offers? If you get an offer it tells you how many they have left and I've only ever seen a max of three offers.

I have had items where the bidder has only been able to make one offer.

I have found it annoying that you can't make contact to barter a little if the offer is near to your expectation.

I bought an item on ebay after a night on the voodoo juice for a Best Offer price for 5£ was a stereo worth about a hundred pound. The seller accepted the bid accidentally when meaning to decline it (silly !!!!!!) how ever i did get my stereo for just £5 lol.

And i do think you should be able to offer more than one offer. As i personally do like the best offer function.

That annoys me, too.
EBay's blurb, if I recall correctly, says something along the lines of that there are limits on the number of offers you can make but they don't tell you what the limit is, and it varies between categories and may change from time to time, so sometimes you only get one go and sometimes you can get several. I think it should be up to the seller, and unlimited offers shoud be allowed unless the seller imposes a limit or clicks a button indicating that they don't want any more offers from that buyer.
