This has happened a number of times, I understand HOW it happens, I want to know WHY. Buyer makes me an offer > I counter their offer > Buyer pays full price. I understand the logistics. Buyer needs to ACCEPT my offer. If they click "Buy It Now" or "Add To Cart" they're paying asking price and by-passing the offer/discount. New buyers don't know any better, I get that... but what about Experienced/Long time EBayers ... what's their excuse? they should know better ... so WHAT WENT WRONG? Did they already have the item added to cart when they sent me an offer, and forget to go back to click accept and just pay for the cart? I don't believe it's a timing issue. I've had buyers make me offers where either before I do or as I'm about to accept/counter the offer, they have bought the item full price. That's happened. But this is also something that happens with 5, 10, 20 minute delays or more. This doesnt happen all the time, but I've had it happen at least a handful of times. Thoughts? I mean... literally did someone have it in their cart before making an offer and forget to accept? Or did someone see the offer and go click buy it now? It's just perplexing
