I have just sold a book that I have had listed for 6 months. I noticed that the price was a few dollars less than I had it listed for. I realised I must have sent an offer for this book, but that was weeks, possible a couple of months ago. I didn't think offers lasted THAT long! How does this work? How long does an offer sit in the system for? I mean it's only a couple of bucks but I want to know how this works. Thank you ebay community!

Every offer I've ever sent has been valid for 48 hours... and every offer I've ever received has been valid for either 24 or 48 hours. Some have counteroffers enabled and some do not. If you didn't manually send an offer within 48 hours of making the sale, and didn't use "Best Offer", you would have sent an automatic offer.
