Can I negotiate with the seller after I place a bid?

Countering after a bid is submitted

Updated over 2 months ago

If a seller sends you a counter offer, you have the option to respond with a counter of your own. This back-and-forth is part of the negotiation process, and it’s designed to help both parties land on a price that works for everyone.

That said, it's important to know that all bids you submit are considered final. Once you place a bid, you're expected to stand by it — you can't retract it or submit a lower bid later on. This ensures fairness for all users and helps build trust between buyers and sellers on the platform.

If you're thinking about placing a counter offer, just make sure it reflects your actual intent and the value you're comfortable committing to. You cannot go back and submit a lower bid than what you originally offered.
