Negotiation Tips
- 1.For listings marked "no immediate purchase," it's polite etiquette to comment first before buying.
- 2.A steep discount can raise doubts about quality — a price far below market rate can make buyers wary.
- 3.Adding "final price" to your listing can discourage further negotiation. It works well in the title or description.
