Re: Another "how to behave on eBay" question.
As far as I understand, you don't have a way, within the system, to make an offer, given the fact that the auction has ended. The only thing you know is that the seller is under no obligation to sell the item, if you want to play through the system I guess you could send a message to the seller with an offer but tell him that you want the use ebay to complete the transaction and that he/she could repost the item with a "buy it now" price that matchs your offer. Just an idea; hope that helps. On 3/13/06, Tim Øsleby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You may be tired of my posts on eBay related topics.

Re: Another "how to behave on eBay" question.
Yes, what I have done is ask a seller if they plan to re-list the item with a lower reserve, or otherwise a better deal than it was. Sometimes it works. --- Fernando Terrazzino <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > As far as I understand, you don't have a way, within > the system, to > make an offer, given the fact that the auction has > ended.

Re: Another "how to behave on eBay" question.
If the seller has another item for sale currently, you can contact them thru ebay via that item and mention the unsold one. The other thing to remember with ebay is... Patience is a virtue. Don't be so anxious to make the next deal, wait and something will appear. Regards, Bob S. On 3/13/06, Tim Øsleby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You may be tired of my posts on eBay related topics.

Re: Another "how to behave on eBay" question.
Most people misunderstand the meaning of "Reserve Not Met". It means that the seller has control: he/she has the option of offering the item to the highest bidder, and is liable to Ebay to pay a fee based on that reserve price. You should be able to go to the item auction page, click on the seller's name, and send a note right there. I've sold several items that didn't meet reserve to interested parties that way. Ebay gets their fee based on the reserve price, what I do with the item afterwards is between me and a buyer.

After getting bad wibes about a winning auction I pulled out. It looked too much like a scam operation. Hope I wasn't wrong about this. I don't want to step on anybody's toes without purpose. (I don't like doing it on purpose either). Now I have stumbled across another auction. It is ended as "Reserve not met". Is there any way I can reach this guy giving her/him an offer, within the system?

I guess I'll smugle my bottle of tequila "herradura reposado" that I just bought in my business trip to Mexico City and exchange that for women while this market anomaly is in place; although my wife may not enjoy the journey, how much you get for women again?
