Offer status & next steps
Read proposals, withdraw an open offer or continue with its existing order.
Read My offers
In the Buyer sidebar, select My offers. Read the product, Quantity, Unit offer, Offer total, Status and Actions across the same row.
| Where to click | What opens or changes |
|---|---|
| Offer details | Expand or collapse the saved note, expiration and any recorded decision-email status. |
| Withdraw | Immediately close an open proposal. There is no confirmation dialog. |
| Review offer | Review a seller counteroffer’s locked-fee summary before deciding whether to accept. |
| Payment required | The accepted proposal has an existing order awaiting payment. Continue to checkout opens Payment request. |
| View order | Open the proposal’s existing order to read the current payment and fulfillment state. |
The merchandise total excludes shipping and tax. Quantity can be grouped by unit; Mixed lot means there is no single comparable unit price. Not recorded indicates missing historical quantity information. An ≈ symbol marks an approximate per-unit amount.
My offers has no separate local search, filter or sort controls. Seller comparison and status filters are in Sale Requests, in the Seller workspace.
Expand Offer details
- Find the required product row and select the small arrow or Offer details beneath its name.
- Read the saved purchasing note and Expires date. An empty note is shown as Whole-lot offer.
- For an Accepted or Rejected proposal, check any recorded email status shown there. Select Offer details again to collapse the row.
Withdraw an open proposal
- Check the product, whole-lot merchandise amount and expiry. Withdraw is available on an unexpired Pending proposal or seller counteroffer while it has not become an order.
- Select Withdraw only when you intend to close that proposal. It runs immediately; no review or second confirmation window opens.
- Wait for the result notice and refreshed row. The proposal is closed without creating an order, reserving inventory or charging a fee.
Withdrawal does not cancel an already accepted order. When an order exists, open that order and follow its permitted actions. Replacing a pending offer is not an inline edit: review eligibility and deadlines before making any new proposal.
Understand the status labels
| Label | Meaning and next action |
|---|---|
| Pending | An open Buyer proposal. The Seller collects and reviews proposals; it is not an inventory reservation. |
| Collecting offers | Seller comparison label while the Sale Request’s bidding window remains open. Accept and Counter wait until it closes. |
| Awaiting decision | Seller comparison label for an open Buyer proposal after bidding closes. The Seller can review valid decision actions. |
| Countered | The original Buyer proposal has been replaced by a linked seller counteroffer. Review the newer proposal rather than trying to accept the original. |
| Seller Counter / Awaiting buyer | The Seller has proposed a new whole-lot price. Buyer My offers displays Seller Counter; Seller comparison uses Awaiting buyer. Review offer opens the acceptance summary for the Buyer. |
| Accepted | The accepted proposal has an order and inventory reservation. Check that order’s actual payment status; this label is not payment or delivery confirmation. |
| Payment required | Buyer My offers uses this label when the existing order is Active and Awaiting payment. Continue with the existing order rather than submitting another proposal. |
| Rejected | The proposal is closed. This includes seller rejection, the current Buyer Withdraw action and competing proposals closed when another offer wins. |
| Expired | The proposal’s allowed response time has elapsed. The interface can show effective expiry before a background job updates the stored record. Acceptance is unavailable. |
| Withdrawn | A historical label included in the Seller Status filter. It is distinct from the current Buyer Withdraw button’s Rejected result. |
Do not treat a label from a different role as a second financial event. The same proposal can be Seller Counter for the Buyer and Awaiting buyer for the Seller.
Open an order or continue checkout
- If the row shows Payment required, select Continue to checkout. This opens Payment request for the already accepted order.
- Review the agreed items and totals, Buyer contact and required delivery details. An authorized, verified Buyer must complete any required fields before a payment action becomes available.
- If the row shows View order, select it to read the existing order’s current payment and fulfillment progress. It does not accept the offer again or create another order.
- Read the order’s reservation deadline and any blocked-state message. If it has expired, closed or needs a refresh, open the latest order state before attempting to continue.
The current acceptance path starts a time-limited payment reservation, initially 35 minutes. The order’s displayed Reserved until and server-verified payment state are authoritative for the next action. Closing the payment window is not payment confirmation, and pending payment processing is not a reason to create a duplicate payment.
