HA.

Another option- if the seller refuses to accept your offer, then get all pissed off and start sending inflammatory messages, and call the seller a long list of names.

Had this happen to me a couple of months ago with an item I had listed on eBay.

Naturally, I blocked him.

And did you raise your BIN after that?

I've always been fair with my offers and polite in my interactions, Ty has the habit of raising the BIN after any offer. Seems strange to me. Better to hit the BIN and save yourself the frustration.

I didn’t change my BIN. Since it seemed to vex him so greatly, I did offer to remove the “make an offer” button. But that offer only seemed to enrage him further, and led to more verbal abuse from his side..

And in the end, I just left my listing as it was.

What is the listing? I might just make an offer you can't refuse.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Good question. It happened over the summer while I was on vacation down under, so it's been a hot minute. Most of the stuff that I have listed on eBay is not easy to find, so my prices are high retail for sure. Of course, most of my stuff also has limited demand, so it's going to sit for a while.

I think it might have been this Bazooka Stamp Complete Panel:

I would say it’s generally a dick move and demonstrates hostility when a seller responds to an offer or email by raising the price of the card. But it is his card so whatever I guess. Nothing up there for sale seems particularly competitive from a market perspective so whatever. There are other fish in the sea.

If I make him an offer and he quickly rejects it but doesn't raise the Buy It Now price, does it mean he kind of likes me?
