I put my item up with start price plus "Make offer"

[mgc-teach]

Customer made an offer - This was immediately aoutomatically accepted, though I had not placed ANY sum in the auto box when I set the advert up.

As it happens I am happy with price, bt it seems the auto box function on eBay is faulty. Anyone had similar experience or can explain what I may have inadvertantly done on setting up my advert?

It would help to know which item it was as best offer means just that, buyer makes an offer you then Accept, Decline or make a Counter Offer.

Unless you complete the automatically accept offers in excess of £x it does not automatically accept. Are you sure that you did not complete the wrong box.

Every one of your last few items ended early showing as Best Offer. You must have put the amount of the start price in the accept Offers box.

Hi John,
Thank you for your involvement
Item was White MGB model, item number 224037298437 - Quite prepared to accept I may have completed wrong box - but It had not been my intention. As I say, no harm done as price was OK for both buyer and seller. Buyer simply wanted to complete the deal early and did not want to get involved in auction bidding. We had communicated by eBay messaging prior to my changing the advert terms.
