I want to know if my listing was automatically changed to best offer. Here was my listing:
When my item sold, I was not informed that an offer had been made and this is what my proceds showed:
Does this typically happen? What did do wrong? Please help.

I remember seeing a posting like yours before but I was unable to locate it or see if there was an answer. I will be interested to see what others have to say.

The strike-through is only shown if the item sold to a traditional best offer, sent by a buyer to the seller. If there's no strike-through, but the item sold for less money, that would mean that the offer was sent by the seller to the buyer.
In this case, the purchase history shows that it did sell with an offer:

It looks like you may have sent a watcher an offer and they accepted it.
Or you may have sent offers to interested buyers and accidentally checked off send offers automatically.

I cannot tell from your original listing, but if “make offer” was enabled and you input an “auto accept” amount, then that would produce your result also.
Since you were not informed of any offers, I think this is what happened. There would be no other notifications in this scenario other than to inform you that the item had sold.
I am a bit confused by this situation generally, even on sold items you can see the best offer option and the price strikethrough as the result of an offer/acceptance. It generally shows up both in the sellers sold items and in the original listing like the following.

Thank you so much for your reply. On closer inspection, I believe that it is more likely that I set the "Auto-accept" option to $90 and the buyer placed their bid at $93.24. I don't believe that I would place an offer at such an odd amount.
Do you know if there's a way (post-sale) that I could check on that?
Either way, thank you for your guidance.
A cached page captured on Oct 27 shows that there was no Best Offer available on the listing at that time.
$93.42 is 12% off of $105.94, so you probably sent the offer as a percentage, 12% off.
Also, if the buyer had sent you a best offer and you accepted it, then the price would show a strike-through.
