Is the seller offer feature sometimes automated?

So the other day I put three card sets on my wish/watch list on Ebay, and I got offers from all three. Very often I seem to get seller offers most of the time I put something on my watch list.

Is this sometimes automated? I can't imagine all of these are a coincidence.

    Sellers can send offers to anyone that has that item on their watch list.

    Yes, you can set the listing to automatically send offers to watchers.

    I get offers for similar cards which are not on my watch list but auctions, or fixed price, which I previously viewed.

    So that explains it! I honestly haven't sold anything in YEARS. When I buy something I fully expect it to be for keeps.

    I like buying bulk lots, keeping what I like and reselling the rest.
