I don’t mind when people send messages with offers. If their “offer” is ridiculous, I’ll just reply with “sorry, no” and block them.

Case in point. I had an item listed, buy it now or best offer. Offers of less than 50% (offering less than $75 on my $150 item) would be auto-declined. The “buyer” sent me a message to tell me eBay was no longer letting them make offers. They told me they “could do $50” for the album.

I checked eBay active listings. Yep, mine was still the only one for sale.

I checked Discogs. Yep, the handful available were all still more expensive than mine.

So, the “buyer” made five super low offers. They all got auto-declined. Since they couldn’t send any more, they went fishing with a message. Sorry, no. Go away.
