Direct offer, to sell to all bidder but...

[Loque]

I sold something on ebay.
I received bids from 4 persons to an item. Final bid was 91, 2nd higher was 90.
91 paid the item, then i sent a direct offer to who bid 90 and purchased the item too then.
I received also lower bid like 80 and 75 that are good for me because i still have a good margin on it, but if i send direct offer to them then who paid 91 see their feedback sent to me. I find this not too legit but... i earn money.

What can i do in this case?
I can't tell who pay 80 or 75 to not send me feedback (so they will not see item and price paid).... is there a solution?

I don't think anyone knows what you're trying to ask, sorry...

[Loque]

I published a product. I paid this product 40 eur.
I received 4 bids:

-91 eur (win)
-90 eur (direcet offer accepted)
-80 eur
-75 eur

Since i have good margin with 80 and 75 eur too, i would send the direct offer to those bidders too. But if who paid 91 and 90 discover i allowed those bidders to buy for 80 and 75 what they think then?

It's more clear? Is there a way to not show how much a person paid an object?
I cane make feedback private but i can't sell then... so i'm finding another solution. Or you simply suggest me to send this damned direct offer to that potential customers?

Next time you list the product, there is an option for "private listing" which you need to select. This way, the item title and amount is not shown when someone leaves you feedback, and none of your other buyers will know how much you have sold the other items for.

No one will discover if you sold to the others.

You can send Second Chance offers to EVERYONE.

There is nothing wrong about this.

Just make sure you have enough stock to cover ALL bidders - do not cheat them.

As for profit margins, that`s your business - hope it is good. All the best.

OP should be aware that 2nd chance offers may affect his monthly selling limits

If who paid less than the winner leave a feedback (with the non private bid) then will be shown the lower price like all non private feedbacks or not?
All the best to you too my friend.

May not be for everyone but this happened to me recently.

I had 14 items to sell. I only listed 1 of them and was holding back to list as time goes by as a nice easy selling item to build feedback and still sell other higher priced items on this account.

Item got bid up by 20 bidders and 10 fold $$ to what I wanted, so I sent out 13 second chance offers.

Sure 13 sold and it counted on my sales but the profit was well worth it.

Then come a message, if you are stocking this amount of items please use the list multiple items listings the next time you have multiples of items to list.

So I did. Then come the request for showing purchase invoice. It was a typical ebay trick and got someone looking at the account.

Had no problems at all with the invoice or the account but it sending so many second chance offers got it flagged for a reason and caused me a headache. Not going to happen again.

* I wont risk a good account to send off ebay sales to a potential customer. You just never know who you are selling to unless they are a previous customer you know you can trust.

Indeed he should - if he does not know these principles, he has not explored eB enough...cant expect everything to be spoonfed right....?

[Loque]

I'm selling with no stealth account, i have not to be worried about "flags" right?
I can sell without having to worry about how much money i should not reach to not be flagged right?

[rsot]

If I understand correctly, you are selling with your real information? ALWAYS have to be mindful (worried) about flags...that depends on what you sell, how you sell, your feedback and buyer experiences, etc.

Operate wisely.

[Loque]

In the worst case which are the procedures to unsuspend an ebay account?
To provide supplier infos?

[rsot]

Depends on what eB asks - ID verification, supplier invoices, proof of item in possession, credit card, phone number...few of the many options.

DNA is not on it yet

Where are these strange ideas coming from?

All accounts are subject to whatever terms & conditions ebay ( & paypal) want to apply to the account.

You need to rethink everything.

[rsot]

Think OP needs to understand eb and pp more before continuing sales - not worth continuing on platforms that you have little understanding about

[golden_monkey]

yea you need to understand the rules better...... you are playing in someone else park... you can't just do whatever.

Play by the rules, and be mindful of them, and you won't have a problem.

[Loque]

Guys or I explained bad or you not understood what i mean.
I mean, exclude tos and rules because i know i should follow it also with a non stealth account, it's obvious.
I mean, with a non stealth account, suspensions about too much sales are easy to lift?
And wich details ebay ask to unlimit the account generally?

It's a simple question that should be answered with a simple answer.

[GreenBean]

You managed multiple threads to ask the same question(s).

Here's the reply.

An ebay account of any sort is subject to ebay rules and conditions.

Just because the account is non-stealth does not mean it is excluded for any & all of the following...

It may suspended, it may be limited.

AND such suspensions & limits may remain permanently.

ebay will ask whatever it wants & needs to ask to ensure it is is protected from even a real account giving problems

I KNOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW please read

[Loque]

[GreenBean]

Define a general issue.

What might make you need to call ebay?
