    Offer not sent?

    Has anyone else gotten this message, After you thought you sent an offer, Quite the puzzle?, Makes you doubt yourself, Did I or did I not send an offer?, It has gone on for sometime now, On & off, But it still occurs from time to time, Why?

    I see you accept offers on many of your items, so I'll wait for the buyer to make one. I would not send any offers.

    Been that way as long as I remember. I sometimes send out 100 offers at a time and there are always some it can't send.

    I am even more confused when I send an offer and the item sells for the original price with an hour.

    That happens to me ALL THE TIME!  I don't worry about it.  Never once had a buyer say 'oops, meant to accept the offer'.  

     

    As for the original question, I can't be sure, but I have seen that message on rare occasions & I always figure I'm sending the offer at the exact time when it falls off the 'available' list.  Maybe b/c they stopped watching it or took it out of their cart.  It's a guess, but I came to that conclusion b/c right after it happens, the item is no longer on my avl list, often for days.  Though it usually re-appears at some point.

    I was most confused when one of my buyers used the Best Offer option and paid MORE than the asking price for it. Why would anyone do that? I contacted them to see if it was a mistake, but they never responded. I waited a day, then sent the item.  Only experienced it the one time, too.

    I still get errors sometimes when sending offers.  Now, you can check if you sent an offer under Seller Hub > Marketing > Offers

    Buyer may not have opted in to receiving offers. Also eBay is constantly toying with the site. Id say about half of the offers I send to buyers goes to a blank screen. I've contacted eBay for several years about this but they have no answers.
