How do progressive offer responses work?
After you counter a buyer's eBay offer, if the buyer counters back, Offers Manager will send more offers with increasingly higher discounts.
How many counteroffers can an eBay seller send?
Sellers may send up to 5 counteroffers for most items or 10 in most vehicle categories.
How to automatically bargain with eBay buyers and Offers
Navigate to: Marketing → Offers Manager → Automation
and click Automated Offer Responses (or edit an existing response rule), then go to the Counter Offers step and tick Counter Offer first. For the rest of the rule, see how to create a response
Turn on Progressive Bargaining (beta)
If the buyer counters after your original counteroffer, Progressive Bargaining will increase each following counteroffer by a custom percent. The Counter Offers step also has Stop automation after manual intervention (beta).
Enable Dynamic Response.
Set a Max offer, the highest discount percent the rule may send (10 by default).
Set a percent in Increase repeat counteroffers by:, from 1% to 5% (1% by default). It is added to each following counteroffer.
In this example (a 2% increase and a Max offer of 10; the defaults are 1% and 10), if the initial response is 5%, Progressive Bargaining's full counteroffer log would be:
5%
7%
9%
10%
10%
