Item sold below my Buy it Now price, without an offer being made!

[bmyers007]

I've been selling on ebay for over 20 years. I recently had a few items sell below my Buy it Now price, without the buyer ever making an offer to me for to consider!  Ebay just accepted the offer on my behalf!   I never check the box to "Auto Accept" offers, so I'm used to just countering or accepting offers as they come in.  I've been selling with Buy It Now (with offers considered) for many years, so I am very familiar with the process.  Did they change it?  This seems like a malfunction of the auction process, but since ebay no longer offers any Customer Service, I can't reach anyone to figure out what happened.  Any ideas?

Normally, with a discount that is an even $30, I would suspect the buyer used an eBay coupon. However, your data does not seem to support that aspect because you would see the eBay coupon amount in your invoice or accounting.
