Has this happened to you on eBay?

WAYNEAS

I found an item in my eBay cart this morning.
It was looking for a payment for an offer that I made on their item.
It stated, "offer accepted, pay now."
The issue here is that I did not make any offer to this seller for his coin which was a Kennedy 2024-s pr69 silver coin.
What is strange, is that I did make several offers to another seller yesterday for his coin, which was also a Kennedy 2024-s coin but in pr70 Dcam Silver and in the limited edition series.
The offer acceptance price was identical in both cases.
The coin that I wanted was sold prior to us coming to an agreed price.
When I first saw the offer acceptance for the price that I offered to seller#1, I almost paid it.
Thank God that I researched the coin that was being offered in my cart.
These two coins are very different to those in the know.
I called eBay to tell them what was going on and of course they said that I had sent an offer to seller#2 which I did not as my offers are sent directly to the seller by email outside of eBay.
This way any conversation between me and a seller is recorded.
Of course, the CSR had no idea of what I was trying to convey to him about the two items being night and day.
I tried to tell him that the items were like a car, one being black in color and the other being red in color.
No luck there.
I did find out that the seller#1 was from GA and the other seller was from another state (CSR would not disclose the state).
CSR stated that "they would look into it."
All I can say to you guys is to be very diligent before you press that pay button especially if you have multiple items in your cart.
Another thank God that I do not allow eBay to automatically deduct from my account any monies because the seller "accepted my offer."
Happy holidays.

I have noticed an annoying number of offers as soon as I click on or leave an item.

I am just looking for PUP'S

Seems automated.

Is there something you did using a template that was copied?

No template. It just showed up in my cart.
I would never pay $175 (original asking price) for that coin.
It would be like paying $2,000 for a parking lot find, lol

You are not supposed to make offers via email outside of eBay platform. Are you trying to deny eBay their cut?

I have had stuff pop up after I have done a BIN that was you may also be interested in this - I have also gotten offers on stuff I have just viewed once.

This way any conversation between me and a seller is recorded….

Wayne

Do you mean “recorded” as in over the phone?
If so, depending upon the laws of various states, that could be a problem unless you receive permission from the other party. That aside, the other problem is circumventing eBay in order to make your offers.

I think you probably accepted an automated offer you did not intend to. Keep your communications between you and sellers or buyers within eBay. There is a recorded history there, too.

No, by recorded I meant thru the email train.

I use eBay's contact the seller so it is thru eBay's platform but I get and receive the emails to my cellphone which I save.

Glad to hear that, too. So it’s back down to just one problem - the one which served as the impetus for your thread.😉 And that IS a problem. Thank you for the warning.

It might be related. I think the OP may have accidentally accepted an offer. If a would-be buyer contacts a seller, the seller had the option of sending an offer.

I don't know if any other way it would end up in your cart.

I recently received an email notice re: completing checkout for an item in my cart. It was for an item I had viewed and added to my watch list. When I went to My eBay to remove it from my cart there was nothing there. I figured it was just a electronic glitch.

pay as you go will avoid and confusion.

1. One / I don’t care to haggle with them.
2. . Whatever I win (auction) pay for right away.
3. If a seller does make an attractive offer and I buy it I pay for right away.
4. Off the bourse try to have it all priced. If some haggling from players may drop price 5-10 pct if room to move it otherwise goodbye for them. Quick inventory turnover critical.
5. If I buy something at shows I pay cash money.

Attempting to cheat the system is never the way to go. Somebody always has to pay. RGDS!

I tried to tell him that the items were like a car, one being black in color and the other being red in color.
No luck there.
I did find out that the seller#1 was from GA and the other seller was from another state (CSR would not disclose the state).
CSR stated that "they would look into it."
All I can say to you guys is to be very diligent before you press that pay button especially if you have multiple items in your cart.
Another thank God that I do not allow eBay to automatically deduct from my account any monies because the seller "accepted my offer."
Happy holidays.

If a seller accepts your offer how do you turn off the autopay feature?

If a seller accepts your offer how do you turn off the autopay feature?

I pay thru PayPal so I went to their site and disabled auto payments.
You need to check how you pay and go to that site and disable autopay.

I pay thru PayPal so I went to their site and disabled auto payments.
You need to check how you pay and go to that site and disable autopay.

TY and Happy Holidays. PP is supposed to be my auto pay for PirateShip with payment from my CC as the default yet lately PP keeps taking it from my associated bank account.

I definitely recommend that you remove autopay from your account so you do not have to go thru the process of having to remove a purchase that you did not approve of or want.
Wayne
Ps remove your bank account info from PP so they can only debit your ccard.
