Testing the "Make Offer" option

[GoldenAge50s]

Matt/Leon--

To test what happens when one selects the "Make Offer" option, could one of you go to this auction & make a $1.00 offer? I promise I will NOT ACCEPT it!

Just want to see the resulting EM's & what the procedure will be--Will report what happens!

Here is an auction:

Thanks!

Hey Fred - offer made (feel free to accept it)

You should have gotten an email to that effect and directing you as to how to respond to the offer.

OK--Here's what happened:

I got an EM alert that an offer had been made--it took me to an accept or deny page, however the wording was odd!

I clicked decline (or whatever the word was) and I got this: Are you sure you want to remove this record? (A strange choice of words, I thought!) LOL!

I clicked accept & got this: Are you sure you want to accept this offer. ( Pretty plain & straightforward!)

HOWEVER, on my auction listing itself I could see NOTHING that would tell me an offer had been made! Had I not checked my EM I would NOT KNOW I had an offer that needed attention!

Also, there is no indication of how long the offer would be good for. I believe on EBay you have 48 hrs to reply or make a counteroffer before it will automatically deny an offer.

Also, when I denied your offer there was no place to write a note saying WHY I denied or make you a counteroffer.

Thanks Matt!

Thanks for the feedback - we will address those issues.

Additionally.
I noted on the offer screen there was no was to link to the person who made the offers information/feedback, etc.
Perhaps at the beginning we will know or at least know of each other from Net54, but as it gets bigger, it may be an issue. I would like to be able to look up the persons info before I accept an offer, with out having to cut and paste their name in the search box.
Thanks for all the work Matt.

Good one - definitely should be easily able to see the feedback of the user submitting the offer.
