Verified on the store's site · Checked Nov 2, 2026
eBay sellers can send discounted offers to people who are watching an item or have it in their cart. Each offer is at least 5% below the Buy It Now price and lasts up to 96 hours.
How to use it
- Watch an item you are interested in, or add it to your cart
- Look for an offer from the seller in your eBay messages and notifications
- Accept, or counter if the seller allows counteroffers
- Complete payment quickly, since the item stays available until someone pays
Did this work for you?
Who qualifies
- Buyers watching the item or who added it to their cart
- Offers go to the 30 most recent interested buyers, then more in later batches if automated
- Items must have been in the buyer's cart for at least 2 days
What's left out
- Not all listings are eligible
- Offers last 96 hours or until the listing sells, whichever comes first
- Accepting doesn't reserve the item; the first buyer to accept and pay gets it
- Sellers can block counteroffers
