What happened to people making offers and asking questions on ebay?

Just wanted to give an update on this. Odd/rare stuff seems to be eh. Had some luck using the start as auction method, but lately nothing. Unfortunately when something rare comes up that I need it seems to set its world record price. So I'm going back to fixed listings for a while.

Hope you all have done better.

with all that..still always on ebay.

.maybe not buying much..but always have my nose in there ...bidding on stuff I dont need ..but is at a low number,( why do we do that ! LOL )

something annoying I find...when your going back and forth with a seller - - make offer/ counter offer, etc.. sometimes they dont let you respond with a note as to why you offering less.. - message pops up - seller item no longer avail., or seller blocked you,..

Some of us like as little interaction as possible on eBay. I have no problem with one offer. I hate people that want to go back and forth several times. I do the same buying. I make one offer and if I get it great if not I am good with not getting it.

I will also usually only make one offer. However, other times I have wanted something more and made multiple offers. But there definitely isn't as much good stuff on ebay as there used to be.

I love these huge borders so paid up for this one in April of this year..
