eBay changing prices in my drafts? | Selling

The past few months I've had a problem -- seems like eBay repeatedly changes the prices I've saved in my drafts. I tend to write a number of drafts for the stuff I have to list, then take photos of everything on my phone, upload photos from my phone, then go back in with my laptop to double check everything before posting the listings. At first I thought I was imagining price changes, but it kept happening.Tonight I'd saved a draft for a pre-owned Tommy Bahama shirt listing and entered a buy it now flat price of 23.99. Same shirt, same pattern, 100% silk had sold for $29 not long ago- so even though the trending price is $18 for Tommy Bahama shirts in general, I figured I could take a shot at 23.99 since this particular shirt had sold for more recently.Well an hour or so later I finish taking photos of a few items, including this shirt, I upload photos from my phone to the draft and what do I see? The price has been changed to $18. Just so happens that's the trending price of Tommy Bahama shirts- and the price eBay suggested to me originally- but that's NOT the price I'd put in.I've been a customer since 2010 and have been selling here since 2014- (I also spent 2 years posting eBay listings for a thrift store on a different account)- and this has NEVER happened to me until these last few months. This has added to the amount of time it takes me to list an item because I have to keep going back and researching prices over and over. So infuriating and such a waste of my time.Anybody else have this problem? Or am I crazy?I need to start screenshotting my drafts so I'll have proof.Thanks y'all and good luck out there.
