Help Offers Where the suggested counter comes from
Where the suggested counter comes from
Your own numbers decide. Flogit shows the answer and why.
Flogit compares the offer with your price and your settings. It suggests accept, counter or reject, and fills in the reply.
The line under the badge always says why. Nothing is sent until you press a button.
The rules, in order
-
The gap is very small
If the offer is within Minimum step of your price, accept. The offer must also be at or above your lowest price.
-
The offer is good enough
If it reaches Accept at or above (% of listing price), accept.
-
The offer is far too low
If it is under half of your lowest price, reject. The reply still invites a better offer.
-
Too many rounds
After Max counter-offers counters, Flogit stops haggling. See What ends a negotiation.
-
Otherwise, counter
Flogit picks a counter price, as below.
Where the counter aims
Counter strategy has two choices:
| Choice | The counter aims at |
|---|---|
| Split the difference | Halfway between their offer and your price. This is the default. |
| Usual asking price | What similar listings ask. With no similar listings, it splits the difference instead. |
The limits on every counter
- Never under your lowest price.
- Always above their offer.
- Under your listed price. A counter at your full price becomes 95% of it.
Prices of 10 or more are rounded to a whole number. Lower prices are rounded to the nearest 0.50.
The settings
In Settings, Selling tools, Offers & negotiation:
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Lowest price (% of listing price) | 65 | The lowest price Flogit will suggest. |
| Accept at or above (% of listing price) | 85 | Offers at this level or above are suggested as accept. |
| Minimum step | 1 | In your currency. A smaller gap is accepted. |
| Max counter-offers | 2 | Counters before a final price. 0 means no limit. |
| Returning buyers: lower the accept level by (points) | 5 | Lowers the accept level for buyers who bought from you before. |
| Reply tone | friendly | How the ready replies sound. |
Replies written by Flogit
With Replies written by Flogit on, Flogit writes the answer and the reply itself. Your lowest price still applies to its counters, and it never accepts under it.
It is off by default. Each written reply counts against your plan for the month:
| Plan | Written replies a month |
|---|---|
| Free | 5 |
| Side Hustle | 100 |
| Trader | 300 |
| Mogul | 800 |
When they are used up, your rules answer instead until the 1st of the month.
