A proposal is the offer in a conversation: scope, price, timing, and conditions, including Cancellation. The other person should be able to read that version before deciding. A proposal is not an accepted agreement. Messages around it can explain, but they do not replace the version on the offer.
Where to go
The offer card is in the conversation at /inbox. Its status is Open, Proposed, Countered, Accepted, Declined, Expired, or Withdrawn.
What to do
- Open Messages and the conversation.
- Read the offer card: amount, version, round, schedule, and Cancellation.
- Ask for a new version if a term is wrong.
- Accept only from that offer, not from a chat line.
What you should see
The offer status reads Open, Proposed, Countered, Accepted, Declined, Expired, or Withdrawn. Under it, the line is Version, round, of the maximum. Open, Countered, and Accepted lose their actions after the deadline and show as Expired. The other person gets Accept offer, Counter offer, and Decline. You get Withdraw offer on an offer you sent. After acceptance, the buyer may see Confirm and continue to payment and the seller may see Confirm the deal. Deal confirmed and the line The agreement has been created mean the deal record exists. They do not pay a bank. Card payments are not open.
What this does not mean
- A draft, a suggestion, or an interested reply is not acceptance.
- Sending an offer does not charge you.
- If you are unsure what the offer covers, ask before you decide.
