i don't mind auctions with a reserve because I don't even bid on them. However it is super annoying when there is a best offer option, but they reject every single offer, even if its a dollar short.

How about all the BIN spam which is way overpriced?

Here's what I don't get about reserve prices: if someone won't take anything less than $50 for something, why not start it at $50?

That 3 strikes on the offer that they put in place is quite annoying, especially when people set the automatic rejection too high. I've seen listings with BIN set to $35, so I put in an offer of $30 and it gets automatically rejected. Then $31 and $32 get automatically rejected. Really? What offer would they consider, $34? Why bother.

I just set the price of my items at the minimum I would sell it for. Sometimes it takes a few times putting it up, but since it's free, its not a problem really.

That's the way to do it. Just don't use the words no reserve. For some reason, some bidders think that a start price over 99 cents is a reserve (which it isn't).

Thats how I price my items too. Id rather not waste everyones time with auctions that I wouldnt want to sell something for if the price didnt meet a reserve

Yes to both, and a 3rd that is up there for me is when a seller drags their feet shipping an item. I know most people do ebay on the side to make a little extra cash, but a seller who takes 4-7 days to ship an item after getting an immediate payment from me is quickly put on my do not buy list. |

Hidden reserves are so annoying. Quote:
