Yes, I recognize this is completely a first-world non-serious issue and no, I'm not really all that worked up about it, but....
Anyone who shops on eBay probably knows that sometimes sellers will send out temporary price reduction offers to people who have items on a watch list. I've actually gotten a few really good deals this way from sellers who were apparently anxious to unload their stuff. But some sellers offer such a small discount that you wonder why they bother. If the item I'm watching is buy-it-now priced at $29.99 and you send out an offer for $28.99, do you really think that is a big motivation?
And lately I've gotten some of these offers on items that weren't even on my watch list - just things I had looked at while browsing and decided I didn't want. I guess I should look through the settings and see if there's a way to stop those.
