Re: eBay buyers asking questions.
Sometimes that can be as bad as ridiculous offers. Ebay right now is littered with unrealistic prices because people over paid in the first place and want to get their money back. Their is a cost associated with being the 1st one to own an item sometimes, as the value goes down. Someone buys a jersey when a player is hot, the player free falls and the buyer tries to sell it for what he has in it. Matt Schaub jersey on ebay is a perfect example of that.

Re: eBay buyers asking questions.
I had a buyer send me an offer for an item. I countered they countered back. They accepted. 5 days later no payment. I sent a message and they said they would pay later after they got paid. About an hour later they messaged me saying they couldn't afford the price they agreed to pay and offered me 15 bucks less. This was AFTER a sale was in place. The buyers statement was, I understand if you can't do it for that price. I filed a non-paying bidder alert (meaning nothing but a virtual scolding).
What a waste of time.

Re: eBay buyers asking questions.
The worst is when i get this message. "Whats your Bottom Dollar" Really? Not really how a negotiation works but i usually reply with if you want the item send me an offer then I usually get no reply or offer.

Re: eBay buyers asking questions.
I actually get the above A LOT. Same response. They never write back. Or, they write back saying my price is really high. The specific item in question a lot of vintage toys. The funniest, by far, however, was someone offering me $10, when one item in the lot was worth $400.

Re: eBay buyers asking questions.
Yup. Awhile ago I had an old rare authentic jersey listed w/o the b/o option. A guy messaged me with an offer that I probably would have accepted, but he started off by saying my price was ridiculous & I should be ashamed for asking so much. The email pissed me off enough so I kindly responded 'no thanks,' and blocked him from bidding, but not contacting (didn't know you could). He then emails me back all pissed because he's blocked. So, obviously he tried to buy it at full price. So, to repeat: had he not been such a jerk I would have accepted his original lower offer, but he also lost the right to buy at full price. I just don't understand someone thinking that attacking a seller would make them more apt to agree to your terms. Anyway, someone else paid full price a week later.

Re: eBay buyers asking questions.
I think I know who you are talking about. There are several lowballing bullies on this website. They act like "collectors", but on the whole, are just high profile item/high end item $$$ flippers. What they don't realize is they are just burning bridges for future deals.

Re: eBay buyers asking questions.
Maybe we should all set the automatic response to decline offers below a certain amount. Some of the offers are stupid!!!
