New EE question. If in the ad, the seller states "fixed price", why is there an "offer" button?
Thanks guys.  I particularly liked about half way through my toasting, one of you all was kind enough to flip me over, so I can cook evenly on both sides.
...you gotta love the GD

I saw an EE (new) ad for an item that I intended to low ball as the ad has been up for a while. It button stated "offer", and I wanted to offer about 2/3 of the asking price. The button does not say; "buy now". It says offer. WTF? nothing happened. Now this gentleman is threatening to leave negative feedback. My word is all I have on Arfcom. gawd dawg. I emailed him explaining that I newbed it up, what else can I do? I get the idea that if I don't buy it, He's gonna leave the negative feedback for spite.

Quoted: How the fuck is a "buy now" button confusing?  Apparently people were assuming that by hitting the "buy now" button that they the indeed bought the item. What you were actually doing was agreeing to buy the item at the sellers advertised price if the seller wanted to sell to you. It works just like the old EE when more than one person said "I'll take it". The seller then would chose to whom he wanted to sell to.The new EE works just like that, but the "buy now" button was confusing people in that they were assuming that they automatically bought the item. Apparently they were so many people that were complaining that they couldn't figure it out that it was decided to change the "buy now" button with the "offer" button to make it less confusing for the confused but apparently it is still confusing. |

The new way, that is. |

No immunity. Your fucked. It's just like the law. Ignorance is no excuse. No if the seller is going to leave you a -1 I would contact an EE moderator and see if he can straighten it out for you. You don't want a -1 on your record. It stays with you for life. I know this happens a lot with the new EE.

why don't they just change the button to I'll take it  I think that would be a good idea. |

They just traded one confusing situation for another. Of course, one's gotta ask themselves before they push the "offer" button, why is it still showing the full asking price in my offer? I wonder how much the new EE ahs really cut down on the mods workload LOL. |

I have done this a couple of times. Tutorial for new EE |
