The CounterOfferReceived notification is sent to a subscribing buyer when a seller makes a counter offer to the buyer's Best Offer. This notification is applicable to Best Offer-enabled listings. The typical flow of events is:

  • A buyer subscribes to the CounterOfferReceived notification.
  • The buyer receives a counteroffer from a seller in response to a Best Offer the buyer placed.
  • eBay sends the CounterOfferReceived notification to the buyer, indicating the buyer received a counteroffer from the seller.
