| [In my best Seinfeld voice] What is deal with eBay adding “or best offers” to my listings WITHOUT MY CONSENT!!!! On Saturday ebay had a promotion to list 200 items w/out a listing fee…I listed about 50 items that I had previously terminated before the listings had ended so I didn’t get wacked with a 35 cent listing fee as everything is automatically renewed. I meticulously REMOVED THE OBO OPTION from every single one (because eBay thinks this should be the default). That was Saturday….today I’m getting a bunch of low ball offers….sooooo annoying. WTF, EBAY?! Thoughts? It seems this occurs whether it automatically relists my items or whether I list them myself (even when I opt out of the OBO). Every. F’n. TIME. |

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

| You can batch edit up to 500 listings at a time. I did it when I added sales tax to my listings. It saves tons of labor. |

| I brought this up in another thread about ebay and people kept telling me I was not turning something off or clicking something. They do this every time a post doesn't sell and with their new format where most auction are only 7 days by default it's taking constant attention to keep up with it. Love getting an offer of $10.00 for something posted at $150 that I know had the "OBO" turned off. | ||

| I've tried to list books with OBO but it then defaults to 30 days - is there a way to drop it to 7 days?? | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by KatKomics Maybe, they just changed the interface to a bloody mess. Might be possible now. I used to always have 30, but a couple months ago everything changed to 7-day for my BIN auctions. The only way to change it (as far as I can tell) is to remove the listing and redo it or it keeps re-posting at your original settings. |

Quote:Originally Posted by etapi65 ...At the original setting Except they add OBO with a default of 50% of the BIN price....so they modify your listing. I can’t seem to figure out a way around that. Keeps happening even when I manually re-list it and remove OBO from it. That’s my gripe, anyway. |

 It was a one trick pony show but always hilarious.

| @Drogio Why not just make the Best Offer minimum the price you actually want? Then set the base price 10-30% higher? I'm not going to lie, I often offer 50-90% on key books just to see what happens - even if its overpriced compared to market. Maybe you can beat eBay that way? I dont know - worth a try!  |
