Make an offer
You can offer less than the asking price on any live listing priced up to $10,000. The seller can accept, decline or counter. When a price is agreed, you pay it through checkout.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”- You need to be signed in.
- The listing must be live, and priced at $10,000 or less. Listings above $10,000 don’t take offers: use Contact us to buy. See Buy a site.
Offer rules
Section titled “Offer rules”- Offers start at $100.
- You can’t offer more than the asking price.
- The seller only considers offers of at least 50% of the asking price.

Make an offer
Section titled “Make an offer”- Open the listing and find Make an offer.

The listing now shows “Your offer of … is with the seller.” Your offers are also listed on Deals & offers under Offers.
When the seller answers
Section titled “When the seller answers”- Accepted: a deal opens at that price. Go to the listing and click Pay (agreed price), or open the deal from Deals & offers, and pay through checkout.
- Declined: you get an e-mail with the seller’s note, if they left one. You can make a new offer.
- Countered: the listing shows “The seller countered at …”. You can Accept, Counter (enter an amount and click Send counter) or Decline. Accepting a counter takes you straight to checkout.
To take back an offer you sent, click Withdraw while it is still open.
