Can’t send offers to potential buyers
Up until two days ago, I was able to send offers to potential buyers. Now , when I try to send offers, it says offer not sent. Any ideas what is going on?

As seller best offer not beinng sent
I’ve got multiple items eligible to send an offer to potential buyers as a seller. Yet every one I attempted to send in the last two days comes back with an offer not sent error message. Anyone else seeing this?

It turns out quite a few people were and are seeing this problem, with users on Reddit offering some possible workarounds until eBay gets the issue fixed, including trying to use the option for a percentage off instead of a dollar amount or just using either a mobile or desktop browser instead of the app to send offers.

Is anyone else suddenly having issues with listings on Ebay not allowing you to send offers (as a buyer)? I have two listings with interested buyers and when I try to send offers, it just says "offer not sent" on both.

My account is in good standing, these are not listed as an auction, they're on as "buy now" price. I've been in Ebay for about a year and never had this issue..

Same try change to percentage

If you go to the web version of seller hub, and go to your listings and click on the '1 of your listings are eligible for sending offers' banner, that's what worked for me

I've been selling on ebay since 2003 but i had to get a new account because after having a perfect feedback with ZERO negative feedback, i had one sale go south where the item i had i simply couldn't find in my inventory! So i ended up Ebay roughly 250$. You'd think they'd call me or message me and work out a plan but no, immediately PAY NOW PAY NOW OR YOUR ACCOUNT GETS CLOSED! I sell hand to mouth and usually each sale gets spent on bills QUICK, so i told Ebay i could pay monthly or weekly and pay the balance off in a month or sooner. Anyways, they closed my perfect TRS account. I mean no sympathy or anything after roughly 20 something odd years...SO now my new account after not selling for several months has only a couple sales. I dunno if things have changed but traffic seems waaaaay down but with this last sale, a nice vintage DAVID YURMAN silver bracelet, i had to ship to an authenticator, which I've never had to do. Hey I'm all for it because on ebay the last 20 years, the silver jewelery market has been HIGH RISK fakes labeled .925 yet NOT! LOL So I'm ok with an authenticator program that actually WORKS! So now the bracelet has been in Carlsbad since Monday May 19th 2025. I'm hoping it gets verified by tomorrow. I'll keep you all posted

An update to this situation - Today I will return to Above Average but this last month cost me a 91.8% reduction in impressions, 53.8% drop in listing page views, and 78% drop in revenue as well as paying an additional 6% final value fee on the sales I made. I was fortunate I had some higher value items sell this last week or my revenue numbers would have been well into the 80%.

eBay has responded to my BBB complaint twice. The first time they told me that I deserved below standard because my shipping scans were below the threshold. However, I had to quote their own website to them saying that shipping numbers cannot lead to downgrade to Below Standard.

The second response they just said I would be restored on May 20th completely ignoring the issue at hand, admitting an issue existed, or offering any type of solution.

If this concerns you, this happened to you, or worried it may happen, please take action. In fact, take action anytime eBay is doing somethning wrong. They will change nothing if you don't say anything. If enough people speak up, they do make changes.
