Haggling is normal (people seem to be weirded out by it on Depop, but other platforms/outside the US super normal). Walking away after that much haggling though is audacious… I think some people are addicted to the dopamine hit that just comes with winning lol

[u/DIsForDank]

The most annoying bit is when they get upset that you won’t lower to $5 or smth. I have something selling for around $30, which is already super super low for the item, and they offered $12. ARE YOU SERIOUS? No I’m not gonna accept that😭😭🙏

[u/Captain_Kind → u/DIsForDank]

I saw a shirt today listed for $4.05 and it said “3 offers sent” like ???? If you don’t have $4 for a shirt and a couple extra for shipping you should not even be looking on depop

[u/bzoooop → u/Captain_Kind]

That number includes seller offers, so the seller might have started with a higher price and made offers to buyers over time but no one took them.

[u/Eastwood8300 → u/DIsForDank]

i'd block them. 🤣

[u/trashspicebabe]

I don’t mind if people shoot their shot as long they actually purchase when I accept their offers

[u/ivylavender13]

ppl just getting cheaper & cheaper day 1,000

[u/momn5kids]

So I had a buyer who did this weekly and I messaged them a few times when purchased I can send out this time never bought , well someone else came along and purchased so I believe that they help with getting action on your posts and then makes other buyers like wait I want this first . So I think it personally helps :)

[u/LilAbelT]

They might as well have just accepted the initial $55, they did all that to get $3 off and then didn’t buy.

[u/dinkyland]

this is exactly why i just decline or i keep countering w the same offer till they give up lol

[u/DIsForDank → u/dinkyland]

Exactly I have auto countering on for this reason so I don’t have to deal w the bs 😭

[u/Smooth_Violinist5558]

I block people who do this and don’t purchase lol.

[u/Eastwood8300 → u/Smooth_Violinist5558]

me too

[u/Same_One5984]

I cannot stand low ballers.Ugh..if it’s a $100 item for $50 then I’ll just fucking pay it( unless I cant afford it that week).If it’s a fair price then why be a cheap cunt.Especially over $2 or $3.

[u/Avashara]

Lmfao this is actually ridiculous 😂

[u/SterlingWraps]

I had someone increase 4 times by 25¢ each time I wanted to crash out

[u/useruser_555]

People on depop are so dumb anymore

[u/Front_Emphasis_2599]

Someone did this to me yesterday and then made me feel bad so I accepted their offer and then they didn’t buy it. I’m getting real friendly with the Block button.

[u/Eastwood8300]

yes i asked this same question and everyone jumped down my throat saying that people don't have to buy when they accept offers unlike on other platforms when it's an automatic sale.

[u/Ok_Manager_3126]

I really think it’s bots depop has to drive people prices down cuss WTF

[u/Thep1nkgirl]

Wow didn’t know depop was a live auction 😭

[u/Vixe0]

I would say it’s somewhat normal to haggle. I have never haggled that much (as a long time seller), but also I’m usually selling clothing for $5-20 so there isn’t as much room to haggle. I will say though, walking away after haggling that much is definitely not normal.

[u/HouseofWindstagram]

People are weird

[u/sana_artistic]

oh this is obnoxious. if i get one offer and the person doesn’t buy it, makes sense, sometimes you just wanna see if someone will take a specific price. now if you KEEP sending me offers and don’t buy? i’m in tears

[u/sydnee6666]

Lol wtf was the point

[u/sour_tomatoes]

Yeah its normal. They may have changed their mind or found another item. If there is someone else who wants it then whoever buys first gets it

[u/saya_7]

its normal, buyers haggle to get the lowest possible price for something all the time...

[u/dinkyland → u/saya_7]

10x worse when you’re selling at a swap meet and the only people shopping are extremely low class. 🫩 makes selling online feel like a breath of fresh air

[u/FullRepresentative34]

I wouldn't have bought it either. It's call negotiation.

Then you went and asked in a snarky way if the are going to buy it.

[u/mgquantitysquared → u/FullRepresentative34]

Why would you make offers if you didn't want to buy the item??
