You can send a counter-offer and then they can counter-offer and this can go back and forth until the item closes.

Yes. Once an offer has been "declined" or has "expired" you are free to make another. While an offer is "pending" you are not.

Default ebay best offer question

I don't know whether this is an option a seller can choose, but I've had this happen twice on separate items with different sellers who were using the "Buy it now" format: I submitted an offer and received an "offer declined" e-mail almost immediately. After I made two more offers and both were declined, I was prohibited from making any more offers on that item.

The funny thing was, in one case, the BIN price was $1,499 for about a $500 card, but I really needed the card for my set. Figuring that I was going to get nowhere, I offered $450 to start and was declined immediately. Then $550, then $650 before being locked out. So I'm sure the seller thought I was screwing around when in actuality I was making a more-than-fair offer.

I had not known that you apparently can set up an automatic-reject e-mail if an offer is below a certain amount. Nor that a buyer can be permitted to make only a certain number of offers.

I think there is an auto-decline option as the same thing has happended to me. I think after 3 declines you might as well email the seller and ask what he/she will take.

I had two items up with Best Offer available last week and every single offer was ridiculously low. One fellow even asked me if I was going to consider his offer or not. It was only about 30% of my asking price and my asking price was less than the lot would sell for if I put them up singly on ebay. On one of the items I set an automatic decline and the other I did not set that option. I doubt I'll ever use it again as it was pretty worthless.

Two days ago I saw a Ruth W553 on ebay with a BIN in an ebay store. I know it's a very scarce card so made an offer. It was quickly declined. I started a few emails with the seller, a very experienced one at that. After a few emails we settled on a price that was good for both of us.....After an offer is declined, and I really want something, I would rather just say "ok, what's it going to take?" ......regards
