When buyers make offers on your listing, you can accept, decline, or counter. Here's how the offer system works.
Receiving offers
When a buyer makes an offer:
- You receive a notification
- The offer appears in your messages
- You can see the amount and any message
Responding to offers
You have three options:
Accept
If you're happy with the price:
- Tap Accept offer
- The buyer is notified
- The item is reserved for them
- Arrange collection via messages
Decline
If you don't want to accept:
- Tap Decline
- The buyer is notified
- They can make another offer
- Your listing stays active
Counter-offer
If you want a different price:
- Tap Counter
- Enter your counter-price
- Add an optional message
- The buyer can accept, decline, or counter again
After accepting
When you accept an offer:
- The item is reserved for that buyer
- Other buyers can still see the listing (marked reserved)
- Arrange collection via messages
- Mark as sold after collection
Multiple offers
If you receive multiple offers:
- Respond to each fairly
- You can decline lower offers
- First accepted offer creates the reservation
- Be honest with all buyers
Offer etiquette
- Respond promptly to offers
- Be respectful when declining
- Only accept offers you'll honour
- Complete the sale once agreed
