And there's no negotiation at a fast food drive through, or hardware store, or gas station. So, maybe nobody likes to pay full price, but there are many arenas where paying full price is simply how it's done.



I'll respond to reasonable ebay offers, but I'll rarely budge for that reason. If the offer is close, then the buyer can go all the way to full price.
Lower priced items that are sold in volume aren't negotiated individually because for the vendors, it wouldn't be worth the time and expense to do that. Maybe that's the case with your ebay store, too. Fast food chains and supermarkets almost always have special sale prices, though, for their customers who are looking for a deal.

On the other end, higher priced goods, like autos and furniture, are usually negotiable because the profit to the seller is significant enough.
