Hmmmm. I see the logic, but that does feel an awful lot like I'm paying the buyer protection fee. If I sold it at the full price, the BPF would be tacked onto the asking price, whereas this way round it's deducted from the offer. I get why that is, but surely a more consistent way to apply the BPF would be to add it to any offer made? I think I'll hold out for the asking price, and remove the option to make offers in future.
The 'Buy it now' price that the buyer sees on the listing is inclusive of the BPF so pretty obviously any offer the buyer makes against that price must also be inclusive of the BPF.
I think what is causing the problem is that eBay is initially showing the seller the offer price inclusive of the BPF, which isn't relevant to them, and then only subsequently showing the seller what they will actually receive.
