Thread Title: "Best Offer Auctions Now Available!"
AuctionArmsCeo We've introduced a new Auction Type. It's called Best Offer. It's very simple, really. It's essentially a BuyItNow that lasts as long as two weeks, during which the buyer has the option of making an offer to the seller. That offer is good for as long as the buyer wished to make it, and the seller has the option of either accepting the offer, declining the offer, or declining all offers by lowing his/her BuyItNow price. It's a brand new feature, so let me know what you think.

(no avatar) How do you use it

Seller: AA-bob(1-0-0) Post#2 - Posted: 02/01/2007 at 16:03:33
AA-bob Just select it as the Style of "auction" when you list an auction instead of the traditional Basic, Dutch or Reserve Styles. Be sure to include a BuyItNow price. Buyers can them make you offers and you can either accept them, which would immediately end the auction and result in a sale, reject them or keep them in consideration until they expire on their own or you decide to accept them at some point before they expire. To Stimulate more offers, or an immediate sale, you can lower your BuyItNow in response to an offer that isn't quite high enough. Have fun!

Oops, sorry Cyro, I was logged into your account when I posted the above note. Here it is again:

"Best Offer" won't work on relists, need to start a new one to get this feature.

(no avatar) One more qustion is it like a basic auction,if you get a bid at you starting price is that a sale if you have no other bids

Like if you start at a penney then the hi bid wins

Seller: AA-bob(1-0-0) Post#8 - Posted: 02/01/2007 at 20:17:44
AA-bob Nope, only by a seller accepting an offer or buyer using BuyItNow will the "sale" occur. There are no Binding "bids" as such until a Seller accepts and offer. Good luck and have fun!

AuctionArmsCeo Actually, I saw this thread and 'adjusted' the code accordingly. You should now be able to relist an item as a Best Offer auction. Enjoy!
