Worst time of year to be selling on ebay if its not a sought after item. Doesnt really pick up until end Feb when folks get payed.
Seems like people are basically saying 'I don't care what it would cost me to buy brand new, I obviously can't afford it anyway so I'll just send a shit offer and try my luck'.
Yes, this. I just block serious lowballers.

ebay feels like such a waste of time at the moment. I had a few surprisingly decent sales around xmas time but now it's back to the old shit offers and very few sales scenario. I'm not even bothering to list a lot of stuff as I know it'll just be disheartening.
The last two items (Used but 8/10 condition and functionally perfect) I've had offers on:-
One item (RRP £130) listed at £75 ONO got an offer of £50, I countered, no response whatsoever from bidder; they don't even bother to hit the 'decline offer' button. Just nothing.
Then another item (RRP £250) listed at £150 ONO got an an offer of £100, same bullshit.
These are both quite rare items that hardly ever appear on the used market.

This is why i hate the best offer bullshit. Trouble is, whenever I list anything at a fixed price I still get emails asking if I'll sell for a shit price.
Pricks.
