You will then be prompted to pay for the original price of the item. After confirming payment, our staff will negotiate with the seller to lower the price.<\/p>\n
Some sellers may offer a counter offer to your desired price. The counter offer is a way for the seller to compromise by saying they can’t meet your desired price but they are willing to give you a discount up to a certain amount. In such cases, we will proceed with the order as long as the counter offer price is within the “maximum payment amount<\/strong>” that you have filled in before. If the seller’s counter offer price exceeds your maximum payment amount, we will consider the negotiation to have failed.<\/p>\nIf the price negotiation is successful, we will refund the difference. If the negotiation fails, we will refund the full amount paid.<\/p>\n
(Depending on the seller, there may be cases where price reduction negotiations are not possible.)<\/p>\n
