Gurlcat is asking this because if you used it once before, you can accidentally set up a recurring offer that will automatically go out without you knowing about it.
I made that mistake once, I couldn't figure out why a bunch of things were selling at a discount without me sending an offer or receiving one. Fortunately, is was only 10% off. You can find those "auto offers" ebay sends out by going to selling hub and using Active listing option. If you have auto offers going out you will see it there with how many are in the program. It appears you have to individually take each listing out of the auto program... at least I couldn't figure out how to bulk edit the lot of 73 items in the program. Not in my screen shot because I do not have any items in the auto offer program.
What is so frustrating is that nowhere (not on the Sold's page, nor the item's order page) does it SAY that the item sold via seller-sent offer. That has always bugged me, especially the time that I knew dang well I did not send an offer for a certain item that ended up selling way lower than my original price, just like what this OP is seeing. Everybody commented that I must have done it, but I knew for a fact I never sent any offers for that item, period. I recall that at least one other seller (maybe more) said they had the same thing happen to them, but our sworn certainties were dismissed. Now here's a new seller who appears to not have used the feature at all before.
By the way am I wrong about there being nowhere you can look to see if the item sold via seller offer or not? I know that looking at the seller's account from the outside is totally useless, because that just shows the original price.
Here's the item I sold yesterday. By searcing 'karl lagerfeld necklace bracelet' in Advanced search, it shows this:
And from the point of view of my buyer account, when I go to Gurlcat's Wurld and look at "their" sold listings, again I see:
But on my own Sold page (from within Gurlcat's Wurld) I see this:
And I know that was because I sent out offers for this item, and the buyer accepted it only 5 minutes later. But if it had been someone who'd waited closer to the 48-hour cutoff, I might not remember if this was my original price or not (because I do offers in batches, for lots of items).
