VB on eBay classifieds
Two letters can mean a lot, this is something you should know when creating classified ads on eBay or looking into something about the offers. VB has a specific meaning that you should know carefully.
This is what advertisers should be aware of when using "VB"
The addition VB or VHB means basis for negotiation. When you advertise something, you should pay attention to a few things when using the suffix VB:
- You can name a price in the eBay classifieds and mark it as a fixed price or as VB. You also have the option of not quoting a price at all and choosing only VB instead.
- As soon as you add a VB at a specific price, you signal that you are ready to sell well below the stated price. For example, if you want to have at least € 90 for an item, you need to specify a price that is higher, e.g. B. € 100 negotiable. As an alternative, you can write just € 90 and choose a fixed price, in which case interested parties know that you do not want to negotiate.
- However, you should also not specify unrealistically high prices, because with the price you set a certain framework. Nobody willing to spend € 90 on anything will respond to an advertisement asking for € 500. There is no regulation as to which negotiation framework you set, but it makes sense not to set more than 25% negotiating leeway. So if you want to have € 90, that would be € 90 then 75%. Divide the price you want by 0.75 and you get € 120. If you now enter VB 120 € in the classified ad on eBay, then there is a good chance that you will get the 90 €.
But you can also leave it to the interested parties to suggest prices. Then do not insert a price and choose VB.

Important for interests in eBay classifieds
- If you see an item in the classifieds that interests you, take a close look. If the price says VB, then the seller is ready to go down with the price. So it wouldn't be particularly wise if you were to buy at the advertised price.
- Usually you can assume that you will read the article approx. 25% cheaper. But you can also offer less. The seller will then tell you that they won't accept the price, but you might as well get lucky and get a real bargain.
- In any case, you should inquire about the value of the offered item or Informing the usual sales price, this strengthens your basis for negotiation. If the offer does not include a price, you should always find out about the usual sales prices before submitting an offer.
The VB for eBay classifieds offers advertisers and interests many opportunities to find the right price.
