Kat kat It's being rolled out, it's only with a test group now, along with the new ability to edit certain columns right in SH, which will be great, as I've been able to do that in TL for years, actually, forever. But I tried yesterday & don't have the ability yet. I watch a lot of items that I'm selling, so I expect to be inundated with offers, tho' they say here that there are checks in place to prevent that from happenign. community.ebay.com/t5/Announcements/Seller-Hub-Updates-for-Active-Listings/ba-p/29158673

FYI, this is what it looks like. I can’t get to it through the hub, but it’s intermittent through the My Ebay tab.

I’m happy to report I had a taker on one of my offers. I think I sent out eleven offers - I wish there was a way to see what I sent and for how much.

Houzz.com does something similar - they will notify you that something you’re watching has dropped in price. Even though it’s not a direct offer it has prompted me to make a purchase. I love it. But then I love that site.

OK, I was thinking of something else. We have that ability in Poshmark. I'm just using the notification in eBay now - mostly to nudge people to complete checking out their carts.

I hope this gets rolled out soon, I have 198 watchers at the moment Check your active listings daily. It's getting rolled out in small numbers. I've noticed things that have best offer enabled are the ones that that they're available for.

I actually like this feature in Poshmark. It sometimes works quite well for me. Hopefully it will work well on Ebay too.

The email about Eyes on your Items is only a link to lower your price (at least mine is). I'd much rather have the ability to send an offer to a watcher than have to lower my prices overall.

I have yet to have a sale from the "eyes on your stuff" or "your stuff is in carts" emails. So I don't bother lowering those prices anymore. I do like the idea of offers to watchers though. Guess I'll keep watching my page and see if any listings pop up as eligible

I watch a lot of my own items, so it’s probably me they are talking about when I get that email.

Guess I'll keep watching my page and see if any listings pop up as eligible I have used that feature diligently and never a nibble that I can tell. I'm willing to use the offers to watchers, though. This will eventually lead to heavy watching and little buying until an offer is sent, it's just human nature, so I'd be selective about how I use the feature - it would be really useful for items I'm quite willing to discount and move along, items getting stale, etc. It's like Poshmark - people 'like' items and periodically I'll send out offers to the likers, particularly if the site is having a closet clean-out campaign. I've usually sold two (for some reason) items out of the perhaps 60 or so items I discount, so it's not really that effective, but it does keep the pot boiling.

It showed up for me again today. But just three of them. I resent the offer just because I could. Just for now because I know it will probably just go to the same watchers again.

I don’t know about this offer to watchers thing. As a buyer, I already get a bunch of notices from eBay re discounts and relists. I’m beginning to get annoyed with it. The amount of emails that I get daily is ridiculous—not just ebay, I’m talking all the businesses who want to send you information. It’s getting out of hand, KWIM?

The offer will go to your ebay messages also.
I get lots and lots of email (currently sitting on 22K+ unread). But I know that if it becomes too much for me, I can change my subscriptions so I won't get as many emails.

eBay is connected to a junk account, and I never read it, so eBay has to contact me through the site, anyway, so it works out fine. The account is just to collect receipts and records - who knows what other kind of spam eBay sends me (or anyone else lol).

Are you in the Seller's Hub or a different back end? That view looks nothing like anything in my eBay. Nevermind. I found the view that you're in. I, unfortunately, don't have the option to send offers

It's only available on a few select of my items that I have best offer on and that has watchers.

interesting selection criteria - I'd think that they'd have it on all items with watchers, best offer or not - I wonder if it's just part of the roll-out doing it this way.
