22 years selling on ebay....this is a first.
I need to know if any other sellers have experienced this. I had an item listed for $650. I allowed offers, but didn't list it with a minimum offer nor did I offer a 20% off. I got an ebay message that it sold for $520. I immediately messaged the buyer and asked if they made an offer. I thought I might have made a mistake listing it since most of the time when listing "sell similar" there is an extremely low amount there I have to delete. The buyer told me "no" ebay sent her a message for 20% off. I finally was able to contact a representative. He told me not to worry. This was something new ebay was doing and to be reassured I would be compensated by ebay. I completed the sale hoping that conversation and my messages to the buyer were documented.
When the compensation didn't show up I contacted ebay two more times. They claimed I entered a minimum offer amount and ebay did not owe me. I paid for this valuable item, ebay made over $70 and I lost. I'm not as worried about the $130, but really hesitant to list many other items I've invested in.

3 Tier Jan Barboglio Candelabra Taper Votive Candle Holder 26 X 19" Heavy Rare
If this is the item, then it sold for $650 and the 20% discount sounds like an ebay promotion. Go to the Sold item, click Order Details to see what amount was received and what the deductions were.
