I’ve been eyeballing a lot of some specific SSDs, considering snagging them. I have not messaged the seller, marked it followed, or anything like that. I’ve just kept the page open in a tab and periodically refreshed the page. Now I am logged in mind you to eBay.
I just noticed now though that the seller sent ME an offer. How did they even know I was watching??? What’s going on here?
You must log in or register to comment.
Like a pm offer from their listing or something to sell directly to you on the side?
Sellers can send offers to potential buyers. It happens to me all of the time.
How exactly can they tell I’m even looking at it without clicking anything at all? Like I know websites have that ability, but to what extent does eBay pass that info to sellers?
eBay allows sellers to send offers to “interested buyers”. My understanding of what eBay considers an “interested buyer” is either someone who has watched the item or someone who has viewed the item page multiple times.
EBay seller here - yep I’m having listings pop up in my send offers to buyers list that say they have 0 watchers. Not sure what they are basing it on anymore it used to be watchers.
Interesting … Eyeball linger time?
He didnt send you an offer. He reduced price or sent offer to all interested parties. Meaning ppl who favorited or frequently viewed the item. Its nothing more than that
