Receiving offers
If you've enabled offers on your listing, buyers can propose a price below your asking price. Here's how to manage incoming offers.
What you'll learn
- How to enable and receive offers
- How to accept, decline, or counter
- Offer integrity rules
Enabling offers
When creating or editing a listing, toggle Accept offers to allow buyers to negotiate. You can enable or disable this at any time while the listing is active.
When a buyer makes an offer
You'll receive a push notification and email. Go to My Listings → tap the listing → View offers to review.
Responding to an offer
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Accept | Locks in the price; buyer is taken to checkout |
| Decline | Closes the offer; buyer can try again or buy at full price |
| Counter | Propose a different price; now the buyer decides |
Counter-offers
There's no limit on counter-offer rounds. You and the buyer can go back and forth until you agree or one party declines. Each counter replaces the previous offer.
You cannot accept your own counter-offer. The offer system is designed so that acceptance must come from the other party — this prevents a loophole where sellers could falsely accept to lock in a sale.
Offer expiry
Offers expire after 48 hours without a response. Expired offers can be resubmitted by the buyer.
After an offer is accepted
The buyer is immediately directed to Stripe Checkout to pay the agreed amount. If the buyer doesn't complete payment promptly, you can cancel the accepted offer and relist.
