Anyway, it is possible to be used additional options such as „Reserve price“ and „Buy-it-now price“.

Counter offer is an offer that is between the first offer of the seller and the one of the buyer. If the price of a particular item at the beginning was 100 € and then the buyer has offered 60 €, then the trader has the right to respond with a counter offer (for example – 80€).
