#30 Top Rated Seller Tip-eBay's Best Deal

eBay has a lot of great deals. eBay even has a Daily Deal but for a seller the best deal I have found is the Best Offer  option. eBay offers this option FREE for sellers. The only way I can see that would make it better is if they offered reduced FVF's for items sold with Best Offer but I am not holding my breath waiting on that to happen.
I use Best Offer on all of my store items. Some days nearly all of my sales are from Best Offer. I have several times had a buyer offer more for an item than I was asking. Did I accept it? What do you think? Like the little boy said "I may be crazy, but I ain't stupid".
If you do use Best Offer expect to get some ridiculously low offers. These used to offend me and at one time I put anyone that made me a very low offer on my Blocked Bidder/Buyer List. That was a very short-sided thing to do. Anytime anyone makes you an offer, no matter how low it is, it at least shows you that someone is interested in your item.
eBay has a way for you to filter the offers you actually see. I do not use that feature for a couple of reasons. 1) The offer may have some details that would make the offer good for me & 2) I have some stuff in my store that has been there for several years. It is in my best interest to take anything I can get for that item.
In my opinion(which isn't worth a lot) if you are not open to offers on your store items you are not asking enough for them in the 1st place.
