Question for eBay pros
 

I am regularly listing and selling a rather expensive product on eBay. I am also taking "best offers." I recently had someone purchase the product with a best offer of about $700 less. Transaction went smooth and the buyer provided great feedback.

Now on my feedback page it lists the price that I accepted from him for the product. Obviously this is not good when I'm trying to sell a product on a regular basis at a higher price. Is there a way to remove that listing?

Feedback is set in stone.

No.

Private Auctions .... Think your stuck with that one

url?????

Okay how do I set the eBay auction to private? I just called customer support and could barely understand the person, sounded Indian.

I figured it out, thanks for the bad news. :-)

Keep selling, getting feedback, and bury it.

Yep, no way to make it so that a savvy buyer can't look and see what you sold for once. You can prevent it from happening in the future though via private auctions that you have already discovered.

If anyone bitches, just tell them you were running a sale then, and you aren't now.

It is special exercise equipment for people with disabilities. If you really want to see it, you can contact me privately and I will tell you all about it.

That's pretty much what I plan on doing.

This was one of your demo units that you let go on this deal, correct? :winkwink:

Some feedback details go away after 90 days.

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm this is what im waiting :)

That's a good question. You are thinking of ways to present statistics, so that they appear to be better than they actually are. You want to hide the weaknesses.

Bot fail.

Yeah, or that bulk discount you offered them :winkwink:

After 90 days the auction is removed and much less details are shown.

Also, make sure to start new listing, don't use the convinient relist option, because it then gets much easier to search Ebay for previous listings and sales. Start a new listing and maybe try to reword the header line.

Make auctions private from now on.

Respond to the feedback (on your feedback page) with "Accidentally accepted low offer.. but sold it to you, anyway!! Congratulations" or some shit
