Borrowing one of eBay’s options, Amazon has now introduced a
new feature being called “Make an Offer” which will help shoppers to bargain
the price with select third-party sellers. Its working is quite simple, you can
go to Amazon and see the new feature in Action. On some items the buyers will
see an option of “Make an Offer” which they can use to send a lower price offer
to the seller through an email. After that, the seller of the product can accept
the offer, reject it or make a counter offer. Using this process, both buyer
and seller will keep making new offers until both of them agree on a specific
price on which the transaction will be completed.
The new offer does not apply to all items, it is currently
available on approximately 150,000 items covering categories such as memorabilia,
sports collectibles and art. However, Amazon is planning to increase the option
to thousands of new products in 2015. This new feature will definitely be
interesting as negotiating price online from real life is totally different.
Buyers should utilize this new offer, no matter what, as decreasing price of a
product is what every buyer wants. If the buyer gets to negotiate the price,
then it’s good, but even if he fails he can still buy the product at list
price.
