eBay

I just sold a piece of jewelry that was priced at $44.00. The buyer only paid $41.80. I sent only one offer to a watcher on this piece of jewelry and it was well over 2 months ago if not 3 months! Offers to Watchers have always expired after 48 hrs. Is this something new that we were not told about or a typical EBAY GLITCH?

You must have auto offers where ebay sends the offers. Go into your listing and delete that option.

When you send an offer EBAY automatically turns on "send offers to everyone in the future" (very sneaky). You have to check box to turn off this feature.

I was going to say I have NEVER checked any box for AUTOMATIC OFFERS to be sent. Where do I even find that box? I think I have seen it before on a listing page? But the listing age changes so much, I have not noticed it in awhile. Do I have to go into every one of my 2700 listings individually to check to see if they have added this? I do not see it in SITE PREFERENCES?

@ekmadonna Its in the listing at the best offer. I do not know if you have to do every listing but if i were you i would check to be sure.

Ok, that is where I have seen it before. and I do remember seeing AUTOMATICALLY CHECKED while doing a listing awhile back. I did UNCHECK the box. I will have to pay closer attention when doing new listings to see if EBAY is still PRECHECKING without our consent. Very Shady as usual! But there is no way I am going into all 2700 listings one by one to check this. If I uncheck the box one time it should stay UNCHECKED for all future listings.

It does.

Did the buyer pay $41 or did you receive $41?

Just in case you are confusing payment which would include shipping and sales taxes with payout which would be reduced by the sales tax and by fees.

Just a thought.

Because usually when a Best Offer is accepted, your Sold price which is visible is marked as "~~$44~~ Best Offer Accepted."

The actual discounted selling price is not shown.

But your Sold list shows that minnow brooch as selling for $44.

I don't believe the strike through price applies on buyer accepting a seller initiated offer as is the case according to OP. Only occurs to my knowledge when seller accepts a buyer initiated best offer.

I first thought seller may have looked at buyer invoice, because buyer invoice may often show buyer paying a lot less than seller expects (although seller is paid in full) due to use of rewards and credits. If I use my rewards points and giftcarfs, it'll show as I paid $0 but seller paid in full. I believe that $0 or some small dollar amount figure on invoices has thrown some sellers off in the past ... especially those who print invoices or packing slips w/ invoice pricing on them for insertion in pkgs.
