Make Offer
Our "Make Offer" feature is an optional feature that allows sellers to enable offers on selected animals, allowing for negotiations with a buyer.
- Sellers can set the minimum offer price allowed to ensure fair offers.
- Buyers can only make up to three offers per day sitewide.
- Buyers can only make three offer attempts on each individual animal.
- Failure to meet the seller's minimum accepted offer amount on the third attempt will permanently prevent the buyer from being able to make an offer on that animal.
- This prevents buyers from "gaming" the system to find the lowest accepted amount for that animal.
Enabling Offers
Offers can be enabled using the individual edit/add animal page or bulk actions.
Individual Edit/Add Animal Page:
- Access your Animal Manager.
- Add a new animal or edit an existing animal.
- Fill out the ad details.
- In the "Sale Info" section, under the "Price" box, click "Accept Offers."
- Select the minimum offer you are willing to accept.
- This is a percentage between 40% and 70%.
- Complete the ad and save the changes.
Bulk Actions:
- In your Animal Manager, select the ads you would like to accept offers on.
- Click "Bulk Actions."
- Select "Change Offers."
- Click "Accept Offers" and select the minimum amount.
- This is a percentage between 40% and 70%.

Viewing Offers
When a buyer makes an offer that meets the minimum amount, the seller will receive a new notification.
- This will be found in the seller's message under the "Offers" tab.
- This will open an inquiry thread for the seller to discuss the offer with the buyer and arrange payment details.
Making Offers
If an ad accepts offers, the buyer will see a "Make Offer" button below "Inquire to Buy."
- Click this button.
- Carefully review the details and the seller's policies.
- Enter the amount you would like to offer.
- Check the box to acknowledge that you have read and agree to the seller's policies.
- Submit your offer.
