And there is nothing wrong with asking or being asked about a better price on a fixed priced item on eBay…,we do the same thing on all other platforms. If the seller doesn’t want to do that and is set with the price, they will say so. More than not , sellers have worked with me on price as I have worked with others buying my stuff. Again, I hate the OBO , mentioned above when it’s only a few bucks( not even $5 off)
Remember….its a hobby

Whether fixed price or those with best offer option, I think there's a lot more people with ultra-high starting prices these days because of how hot the hobby is and how much cash from dumb people is flying around. There are plenty who'll take an actual market-price offer if you send it.

As an ebay seller, very few of my listings are Best Offer and most are Fixed Priced listings. I take and accept offers via ebay messages all of the time, so I am definitely open and happy to receive offers from potential buyers asking about discounts. I reply to every message from a potential buyer even ridiculous low ball offers. For the low ball offers or what I consider low ball, I usually just reply by telling the buyer that my list price is my best price. For others that give offers within my ballpark, I try to negotiate with them or even just agree to their offer right away. I do this all of the time.
The reason that I don't have many best offers on my listings is that I think that if BO is an option for a listing, most buyers automatically assume that the list price is not your best price and immediately give a lower price to try to get your lowest price. Therefore, my idea is that as a seller, you can get a higher overall sell price by not offering BO. I don't know if this is the best sales strategy, but just my thinking. A lot of other sellers offer BO regularly and they get more sales throughput and turnover. That is a perfectly reasonable sales strategy also.
