I tried a low offer on a phone someone was selling today. Ebay never came back to me to say that it had been accepted, but instead BOUGHT the phone, using my bank details, without my permission. I am fuming. Has this happened to anybody else? & what can I do about it?

Often now when you make an offer you upload payment info,
If seller accepts offer, payment made.
This stops non payers.
Sounds like you got a bargain.
Buyers can't opt out of this system, only sellers

If you make an offer, as part of the process, unless seller has opted out of requiring immediate payment, then you have to authorise payment , if you do not then you cannot make the offer.
Surely if you make an offer you expect to pay!
