    Ebay make a offer

    Since when can you select auto reject for offers?

    Since I can remember. You can set the minimum price you want while setting up the listing, if someone offers below that price it will auto-reject it so the buyer doesn't waste your time with lowball offers.

    What I hate is after 2 or 3 offers you cannot make any more and are locked out of buying that item.

    i hate when you make an offer for an item that is in line with what the item has sold for in the past and its auto rejected. Why bother with the best offer thing at that point.

    I like the auto-rejection....it saves time. If your bid wasn't above the auto-rejection trigger price (which is what the seller's minimum price of acceptance is), the seller was not going to accept the bid anyway. So, instead of waiting around for an email from the seller....you find out right away. It also forces the buyers to stop putting in ridiculously low offers....like the $40 offer I got for my BIN price of $300 for a Crosby RC I had a couple years ago. Sure, everyone has a right to bid what they want....but....come on, people....get real.

    It works the other way as well though, as a seller you can specify an "auto-accept" price that will end the auction as soon as you get the right offer. I tend to use that once in a while if I know the minimum amount I want for a card, the only problem with that is you can't screen the buyer for negative feedback before accepting the offer. Some sellers may use both, and have only a small range that they would consider offers in.

    I offered a reasonable price for a card the auto reject.

    i like to get a counter offer to see what the seller is looking for.

    but like was said above why offer the offer option?

    I had a seller absolutely go ballistic on me once because my offer was too low, despite being in line with the what the card typically sold for. He went on and on about "real-time BV." Auto-reject would have saved them the trouble. I think it is a useful feature.

    Generally sellers will list an item as a BIN because that aren't looking for "what the item usually sells for" in auction. Otherwise, there would be no point of doing a BIN.
