How to make an offer on an item?

Guided negotiation

Making an offer allows you to propose a price lower than the listed one, in a secure environment.

How does an offer work?

  • The buyer proposes a price lower than the listed price.
  • The seller can:
  • accept,
  • decline,
  • or ignore the offer.

As long as the offer is not accepted, there is no commitment.

Communication about offers

  • Offers appear in a dedicated conversation between the buyer and the seller.
  • Offers, rejections, or acceptances can be accompanied by a message related to
  • the offer.

“Free” messages are blocked before the purchase, for security reasons.

If the offer is accepted

  • The buyer must press "Buy" directly from the accepted offer in the conversation.
  • The payment is then processed.
  • The transaction begins as usual.

Transaction tracking

You can track the status of a transaction at any time from the app:

  • go to the Transactions screen,
  • select the relevant transaction from the Ongoing transactions.

From this screen, you can:

  • see the current status (pending, in progress, delivered, validated, etc.),
  • know what the next step is,
  • access available actions (message, label, shipments, validation).

Key points to remember

✔ The offer is not binding until it is accepted
✔ The seller is free to respond or not
✔ Payment only after acceptance
✔ Purchase must be confirmed from the accepted offer
