The new eBay feature, Best Offer has its uses. However, the epic proportion of cheap asses can drive you NUTS.
Examples in the past week alone...Guy offers $2.00 for a tie that I have marked $3.95, a tie that originally cost someone around $70, mind you. Because I am already in profit on the box I got it in, I needed to pay my eBay bill that week, and every cent counted I took it.
The bill is paid now and I don't need the money as badly or as quickly so these last few have been told to get bent or have been countered.
Cookie jar. Asking $12.00 start bid, most like it have sold for $18-$25. Offer: $5.00. I counteroffer $7.00 because I already made profit on the box it came in, I want it gone but I want my fuckin' shipping supplies covered. *eyeroll* She takes it.
Doll: Asking $10.00, offer $5.00. $10.00 is already half of what most of these dolls sell for. It has one flaw which is why I priced it as such. Bitch has the audacity to whine that she "might not be able" to fix the one flaw and tries to tell me the hair is cut and matted. Uh, fuck yooooo, bitch. The hair is not cut and not matted. I already priced it half off because of the flaw so she can go fuck herself, especially since the fucker has 4 watchers. Declined.
Today, Care Bear, asking $7.00, offer $3.00. Usually sells for $15.00 but needs a cleaning. Hence, half off. Offer fucking declined because again Fuck yoooo. I paid $5.00 for the thing new, plus I can clean it and offer it back up at $10.00 if nobody buys it this go round.
Do these assholes not realize that these items cost money? The seller has to pay a listing fee, has to pay fees once the fucking listing has ended and sometimes gets clipped with extra shipping? Not only that, shipping supplies aren't always cheap or free. I am not accepting $3.00 for an item that I paid $5.00 for that is going in a .50 envelope, cost me .35 to list and will cost me another .40 in final value/paypal fees. Then time packing, gas for post office. Awww hell naw.
