@ebooksdiva@nyr134 I bet one of you is right. But I can't remember which kind of offer (seller-sent or buyer-sent) causes the Sold amount to have a line running through it. In this case it does not. So if someone knows which kind of offer that means, I'll happily take that memory-refresher!

I'm 90% sure that's for a seller-initiated offer, and buyer-initiated offers get the strike-thru pricing. Someone else may be even more confident though.

Correct. I just checked my most recent of each.
@hardrhymer76@jonathanbrightlight Then why does the screenshot (msg 2) show the Sold price of $15 without the strike-through, when clearly the buyer purchases for only 4 bucks, via one type of offer or the other?
If you look at my Solds, the ones with strike-through were definitely (some kind of) offers:
Others don't have strike-through, but definitely WERE (the other kind of) offer:
I just can't remember which one is which, SIO or BIO. You'd think it would be easy for me to tell, except it's not because I have auto-accept amounts set up on my Make Offers, and tend to send out offers around the same amount, so any sales that come in could be either/or. 🤣
Then again, I do get a notification when someone accepts my SIO, so the next time that happens, I should just mark it on a sticky note or something, then after it's paid for check to see how it displays in Solds.

Because it was a seller offer, which doesn't get the strikethrough. You may be interpreting it backwards, which I can understand because it does seem counterintuitive if eBay insists on displaying it that way in only one out of the two scenarios.
Holy snit, you made a rhyme about it? That's it, you're my new favorite.
I mean, it is right there in their username. They love rhyme apparently. (I actually didn't notice, likely because the strike-through text threw off my mental processing, but I do love it too.)
it was a mistake on my part.When I sent ofer I sent ofer amount of by mistake, I schould have sent offer amount. Ebay sould seperate them so mistake don't happen

You chose the wrong type of discount (offer amount instead of amount off) and that falls to you. Mistakes happen and now you have to deal with it.
Either ship and take the loss, or cancel as out of stock and get an account defect and possibly negative feedback.
It was listed at $15 and you sent a seller initiated offer for $4.01, but intended to send a seller initiated offer for $10.99, correct? So this is a difference of about $7 which is a pretty small amount. A $7 mistake I'd just suck it up and ship rather than take the account defect.
"Ebay sould seperate them so mistake don't happen"
And here is where we part ways. This isn't eBay's fault. None of it. They could separate it, as you'd like them do, but then next time you mess up you will be complaining they should take away the option because you accidentally typed in the wrong box.
When we mess up, we are the ones responsible. We have to slow down sometimes and pay attention to what we are doing. I have come very close to doing what you did, because I utilize all three options and when in a hurry, I've come close to not changing it. I've gone back a couple of times to look at offers when I thought I had messed up.
Any chance that you sent an offer, but instead of offering the item for (an intended) $10.99, you suggested taking $10.99 off of the $15.00 original price?
If it the item with best offer you more than likely set a low price to be accepted automatically. You can check this by going into the listing as if you were revising and see what you set to automatically accept or decline offers.

For your sticky note:
Buyer offers you --
You offer buyer -- No one's the wiser
