Sometimes you know exactly what you want to pay for something. On eBay, however, much of the time prices are set by forces beyond your control—by other bidders that are competing to win the same item or by sellers whose prices may seem high to you.

Don't fret. Many eBay sellers are willing to entertain offers from eBay shoppers using a simple, convenient eBay tool, and naming your own price for an item can turn an "I think I'll pass" moment into a great deal. Read on to learn how to find haggle-friendly items and offer sellers a price that's reasonable to you.
