Is it safe to do 2nd chance offers?
 

Yeah i have alot of bidders and i would like to do 2nd chance offers and sale as many of the same item as i can but i dont know if ebay would banned me for it?

in the past i did 2nd chance then i would be bannned but im not sure if it was the 2nd chance listings that got me or something else that i did

has any one here had problems doing 2nd chance offers on all there items sold to sell more of the same items instead of relisting?

That's new... I don't think it could hurt your account though.

I've done about 5 second chance offers on my new account. so far so good. no problems

As far as I know, you're only allowed to do 2nd chance offers if the original buyer doesn't go through with the purchase. Or am I wrong?

That's what I thought.

Not at all! If you have more than one of the product, you can send a second chance offer to as many people as you want. (from the people that bid of course)

The second chance offer that gets sent to them is basically a BUY IT NOW of the product, at the price that was their maximum bid. It's up to you if their highest bids are good enough and you're willing to let your item go at their highest bid.

I don't mind settling for a couple of £ less. If their bid is over my set target price I have in mind, then its fine.

I do second chance offers all the time on all my ⊗⊗⊗⊗ accounts. You save money by not paying for insertion fees. You will only pay the final value fee. I have learned to buy like 5 items of each item then let the auction run lose. After the auction is over, I will take a look at who is available for a second chance then offer them the product for the last price they placed on the auction. What is good about the second chance offer is you are able to select whom you want to get the offer. I have never been suspended for a second chance offer.

I figerd if i did a lot of 2nd chances it would show up to ebay and they would see i was selling alot of the same stuff then want to banned me cause they assume im bootlegging
