Sellers - Be Careful When Accepting Offers!

Just a quick word to all sellers out there who allow Best Offers.I've found that some people try to trick you when putting in offers, taking advantage of how Ebay displays the offer information.When an offer comes in, the main focus of the screen shows you a TOTAL of the offer, not an individual price.For example, you have a football shirt listed at 18 or best offer. Some people may bid 8.50 for TWO items. As a result, the main screen for accepting offers shows an amount of 17 in quite a prominent way. It's quite easy to click on accept before you notice the offer is for two items. My advice is to always check the offers on the left of the screen. The font is smaller but it gives the individual offer amount, making it easier to see if someone is trying to trick you.
