Are you a seller looking to make a counteroffer to a buyer? Read our article on adding Best Offer to your listing
If a seller sends you a counteroffer, you’ll find the offer in your Messages - opens in new window or tab.
Responding to a counteroffer
You can accept, reject, or continue negotiating by making another offer to the seller. Here's how you can respond:
- Accept and commit to buy – Select Buy it in the counteroffer message
- Negotiate – Make another offer to the seller
- Reject – Select Reject offer in the counteroffer message
You can make a total of 5 offers on most items or 10 in most vehicle categories.
Tip
If you accept a counteroffer, you’re committing to buy the item and you’ll need to complete payment like any other eBay purchase.
If you don’t respond to the seller’s counteroffer, it’ll expire after 24 hours, or when the listing ends—whichever comes first.
