Why should a seller use the Second Chance Offer feature? |
| A. |
The Second Chance Offer feature gives sellers a second chance at selling the item quickly and easily with all the benefits of eBay's services. The Second Chance Offer can be sent to all bidders on the item (but only one Second Chance Offer can be made at a time except for Parts and Accessories items).
Best of all, creating a Second Chance Offer is FREE. Sellers pay only the Final Value Fee when the offer is accepted.

| Q. |
When can a seller use Second Chance Offer if the reserve price has not been met? |

However, the Second Chance Offer can only be sent to one bidder at a time. In addition, the Second Chance Offer is not available to bidders who have opted not to receive them in their email preferences.
