New way of dealing with Low Ballers?

I'm not a huge fan of eBay, but they've added a functionality to their "make an offer" sales that seems like the best solution. It's just an email filter that immediatly bounces back a decline offer if it's below a predetermined amount. If the offer is above the floor, the email goes on to the seller and he/she has the standard 48 hours to accept/decline. It seems to be the best way to weed out offers you absolutely won't accept.

Here's a radical concept - ignore them.

I can't understand why people get so worked up about insignificant things that are beyond their control. Obviously the lowballer doesn't take you seriously, so why should you take them seriously?

I don't buy and sell much. Haven't bought nor sold here for a few years now. Every item I listed was at a price I felt was fair, and always stated "Price is firm." Still had several absurd offers. I didn't lose any sleep over it, complain about, etc. I simply laughed and didn't give them the time of day with a response.

Now if only I could remember that quote EVERY time an idiot gives me a hard time. The first time I saw it, I was at a bar having a few drinks with a coworker. We both looked at it and laughed while thinking about the idiot we were arguing with a few hours before.

Bjesien-love it.

We have lowballers and we have the geographically challenged ones but worst are those who possess both attributes.

Once, i posted an add for a VD power cable with asking price of $1000.00 with sale to USA and Canada ONLY. NO overseas.

A Bozo sends me this email "i'm offering you $500.00 including shipping to Russia". I will get right on it buddy. AH

As regards geographical limits, I live in the UK and if I see a restriction to North America, politely say that I note their sale restriction, but would they consider selling to the UK. I have always had a reply and usually an agreement to sell.

The restriction sellers want, often is to Eastern Europe or West Africa, but the Gon does'nt allow for specifically restricting certain countries.
