This just occurred to me..
When you list a item, you pay ebays listing fees based on the items price.
(i,.e, if you post an auction item with opening bid of $50, the insertion fee is $2.40)

If someone then makes you a best offer of $35 and you accept it, then you just paid an insertion fee of $2.40 whch ebays gets but you are accepting less which is wasting the $ you soent to list it.
.. .. I havent had my coffee yet but I'm sure someone can figure this out and put it in succinct terms?

I guess it would depend on your markup ..
