Ebay counter-offers
Hi
I have an item on ebay BIN with Make an Offer.
I have received an offer and am considering making a Counter-offer.
If the buyer doesn't respond, is his original offer still available and can I still accept it before it expires?

Inappropriate?Wow, six months and no one answered you. :(
So I had the exact same question, but didn't find the answer anywhere online, including the eBay forums, that I avoid anyway because of the massive negativity there.
Here is the answer: As soon as you make the counteroffer to the buyer, the buyer's original offer is cancelled, which sucks actually.
Keep in mind you can contact the buyer and make a deal outside of eBay. Of course eBay doesn't want that, which is why they built the Best Offer system in the first place. eBay also tries to scare you away from such by including in their messages that dealing outside eBay is against their policy, and *dangerous*. Not really. Dealing outside of eBay probably costs eBay millions of dollars annually.
