What would you do with this eBay buyer?

Yeah that's usually how it works for me. If you offer less the seller goes the other way. Or proceeds to explain that they have buyers lined up at a higher price than my offer already.

I agree with resisting the urge to make a snide comment. Instead of doing that, I posted about it here to get it off my chest.

 

I purposely don't "allow offers" in my listings because I don't want to encourage people to lowball me. Sometimes someone will message me anyway with an offer and I'll consider it but I honestly want them to pay the asking price and most people do. If you allow offers you're probably going to get them.

 

The last few times I sold, I did allow offers. I got really lowball offers for a couple of coins. It didn't cost me anything to decline them - except a very little bit of time and attention; I value those highly, but at the volumes I was selling, the burden was negligible.
