Automated Offers to Watchers
Turn watchers into buyers automatically. Once a day, RocketVault sends a private discount offer to the interested buyers on your eBay listings — with a discount, price floor, and daily cap you control.
Overview
Watchers are your warmest leads. When someone adds your card to their watch list — or puts it in their cart and walks away — they've told eBay they want it, just not at the current price. Sellers who send offers to those buyers close a meaningful share of them; sellers who don't leave those sales on the table.
Doing it by hand means opening Seller Hub every day, finding which listings have watchers, and clicking through the offer flow one listing at a time. RocketVault's Automated Offers does it for you: once a day, it finds every active listing of yours with interested buyers and sends each one a private discount offer, following the rules you set.
- Private, not public. The offer goes only to that listing's interested buyers — your public listing price never changes.
- Wide reach per listing. eBay delivers each offer to up to the 30 most recent interested buyers on that listing.
- Time-boxed. Offers are valid for 4 days (eBay's standard), creating real urgency for the buyer.
- One offer per listing at a time. eBay allows a single outstanding seller offer per listing; RocketVault also waits 7 days before re-offering the same listing so watchers never feel spammed.
Turning it on
- Go to Settings → Connections and find the Automated offers to watchers section in your eBay card (you'll need your eBay account connected).
- Flip the toggle On.
- Set your rules:
- Discount — how far below the listing price to offer, from 5% (eBay's minimum) up to 50%. Default is 10%.
- Price floor — a hard dollar floor; RocketVault never sends an offer whose discounted price would land below it. Your minimum listing price is always respected as well.
- Wait after listing — how many days a listing must be live before it's eligible (default 3). Fresh listings get full-price traffic first.
- Offer message (optional) — a short note delivered with every offer. Leave it blank for RocketVault's friendly default. Plain text only — eBay rejects HTML.
That's it. The sweep runs automatically every day around midday US time — no button to press.
How listings are chosen
Each day, for each seller with Automated Offers on, RocketVault:
- Asks eBay which of your active listings currently have interested buyers (watchers or recent cart-abandoners).
- Filters out listings that are too new (your wait setting), whose discounted price would fall below your floor, or that received an offer in the last 7 days.
- Sends offers to the survivors — oldest listings first, since stale inventory needs the nudge most — until your daily cap is reached.
Everything sent shows up in the activity list right in the settings section: the listing, discount, how many buyers received it, and the delivery status.
Daily caps by plan
| Plan | Offers per day |
|---|---|
| Free / Collector | Not available |
| Seller | 25 |
| Pro | 100 |
| Enterprise | 250 |
One "offer" = one listing per day, delivered to up to 30 interested buyers on that listing. You can lower your own cap in Settings if you want a gentler pace — the plan cap is the ceiling.
Rules of the road
- Best Offer listings work too, but if a buyer already has an active Best Offer negotiation open on a listing, eBay skips the automated offer for that listing until the negotiation resolves.
- Counter-offers aren't part of automated offers — the offer is take-it-or-leave-it at your chosen discount. Buyers can still message you or use Best Offer if the listing has it enabled.
- Auction listings aren't eligible — offers apply to fixed-price listings.
- eBay has its own seller-level offer limits. If you hit them, RocketVault stops for the day and resumes tomorrow — nothing breaks.
Tips
- Pair it with Refresh. Refresh Stale Listings makes dead listings visible again; Automated Offers converts the watchers that visibility attracts. Together they're a flywheel for aging inventory.
- Start at 10%. It's the sweet spot between "worth clicking" and giving away margin. Raise it for inventory you want gone; lower it toward 5% for cards holding value.
- Set a floor. Your floor plus your minimum listing price guarantee an automated offer can never go below a number you chose — set it and forget it.
