Ping issues

Ping should be up and running now, but we’re still monitoring the situation to make sure things stay that way!

Introducing ‘Make an offer’
From today, we’re trialing a new feature that allows buyers to make an offer for general items.
‘Make an offer’ is a new option that sellers can add to their listing. When turned on, buyers can make the seller an offer, which is valid for 24 hours. The seller can choose to accept or decline the offer.
This trial will be rolled out to about 25% of our sellers, and only on our yellow apps for now. If things go well, we’ll look to release it wider to all casual sellers.
