Not on the vendio listing page, if you are looking there. Never list with ebay so don't know about there, sorry.

I wonder if you could start the auction out at $.01 then, in the item title, say "Make An Offer"...then, in the item description, state any conditions...For example...Make me an offer on this widget...when I get an offer that satisfies me, I'll end the auction." I don't see how that would violate any of eBay's rules and it could be a fun experience.

That would be called bidding. I think that the Submit Best Offer function has to be a number lower than the current price for it to be valid?!

The "make an offer" feature is not available for auctions. Only fixed price listings.

Sparks beat me to it, The make an offer function can only be used with fixed price items. But then again, why cut your own throats with the make an offer function. All it will do is bring out the bottom feeders any way.

I did that a long time ago,,,,$1. start, Your bid implies you READ and understand that you are buying my item for $X00.00 amount of dollars,,,,It worked GREAT!!!! The high bidder (1) HAD READ and DID understand Exactly. We closed the deal and all was well. Instead of paying OUTRAGIOUS fees to e bay,,,, well, you know.
