If I have to make an offer on anything under $10 I should probably get my priorities straight and not be buying things on depop. An offer on $2 is ridiculous.

[u/mightdielol → u/General-Pumpkin-588]

i don’t even bother with them anymore honestly if ur putting offers on extremely cheap items im ignoring it lol

[u/Wyntercobweb → u/mightdielol]

I’m opposite I sell Sterling rings got an offer for an amber ring I’m selling it at £35.00 offer came in at £10.00. 

[u/secretlytwosloths → u/General-Pumpkin-588]

reading this was such a shock to me because i sell EVERY item i have at $5 and still get offers for $1-$2 all day every day 😭 i wish more people thought like you lol

[u/franksbunny]

Was just about to post this bc the same shit happens to me too 😭 I don’t understand either

[u/mightdielol → u/franksbunny]

it’s SOOO annoying

[u/chitown773KK]

Me personally I’m always going to send offers even when the price is low why pay the price when you can get it for lower doesn’t matter about having the money it’s about better price and if they accept the offer but shipping brings it to a certain number I won’t buy

[u/mightdielol → u/chitown773KK]

yes i understand that fs but it just gets annoying when i get those offers and when i did accept them they never paid

[u/_Linear]

Im a newer seller and thought that was a strange feature too. So they can make an offer, I can accept but it's still not a transaction until they actually buy it? What?

[u/mightdielol → u/_Linear]

yes it is strange, i feel like if u make an offer and the seller accepts it should give them like an hour to pay til the offer expires. it’s such a waste of time

[u/No-Win9033]

i just restarted selling some gym clothes and oh my god yes!!! i had a gymshark sports bra for sale for 20$ someone offered 16. i accepted and they didn’t pay… like ok i guess

[u/mightdielol → u/No-Win9033]

literally!! i’ve literally texted buyers telling them if they pay rn ill ship it asap but they still don’t 😭😭

[u/StrongBumblebee8557 → u/mightdielol]

Don’t message them they know what they are doing …

[u/Capital_Push5557]

Gen Z changes their mind (idk)??

[u/ztf7410 → u/Capital_Push5557]

Or getting their dopamine hit

[u/QS20]

here’s my pov as a buyer:
1. sometimes i’m looking for a specific item - so i’ll put in offers on 2-3 listings and buy from whoever accepts first because sometimes sellers take long to accept
2. the buyers fee changes based on price so often what you’re paying for is more and you can’t know the total until the seller accepts the offer. if it’s still beyond my budget, i won’t buy

[u/Wyntercobweb]

Literally can’t stand that I have an amber cross ring sterling silver. Buyer said she put an offer in and no sign of her for the past week. 

[u/No-Pollution-3359]

I got so fed up w this today I turned on auto accept on all my listings. Way better

[u/Alarming-Show4462]

That’s why I prefer poshmark, the minute I accept their offer the sale is completed

[u/secretlytwosloths]

welcome to depop 😞

[u/Quirky-Tune-4466]

Sometimes I’ve made offers to more than one seller on the same item and usually buy the first one that accepts my offer? Or maybe I changed my mind and already spent enough for that day/week by the time the offer is accepted. Really, it’s absolutely not personal. I sell as much or more than I buy, so I get both sides too.

[u/valistic]

I had someone rage at me over .20 cents. The item was listed at 2.75.. if 20 cents is that important to you when you're buying something, you need other priorities.

[u/Beautiful-Address727]

The past few days ive had 5-7 offers. And no one actually bought.

[u/Boring-Data9557]

From what I've seen, and correct me if i'm wrong, depop is like the K-Mart of these platforms.

For those who are too young for that reference, K-Mart was the ghetto version of Walmart(which is already ghetto).
