Hey, it's about a general question. You see an item and want to buy it. To do that, you send a price offer to the seller. When you send this, there is a text field to fill out. We, for example, received a price offer and this text field was used to try to negotiate the shipping costs. Question about this text field.....How much influence does what is written in this text field have on the purchase contract that the buyer and seller enter into when a price offer is accepted? If it has an effect on the purchase contract, then that should be communicated a bit more clearly or highlighted better by eBay. On the other hand, it definitely shouldn't have any effect, because if someone then asks for later shipping than shown on eBay, does the seller get a defect recorded because they are then complying with the purchase contract? What are your opinions and experiences on this? Bye, and see you.MyEatNordic
