Please provide more details.

There is no option for you to accept a bid... it's automatic.

Do you mean an offer?

Not following sorry

If you have an auction and someone bids, that is all

You don't need to 'accept' the bid

Unless you are talking about best offer/making an offer

As said, bids are automatic and you need to sell if someone bids and wins the auction.

If it is a best offer, then it is up to you whether you accept the offer or not.

You are showing ONE BIN with best offer, all the rest are auctions with no bids.

Please clarify.

Was an offer made on the BIN? If so, it is a simple process to accept it.

Did somebody message you outside of the listing and make an 'offer'? In which case there is no avenue to accept as no formal offer has been made. Tell them to place a bid in the normal fashion. Are there any flags? Are they from overseas and trying to get something cheap, with local rather than OS postage? Unlikely as your items are not Aust-centric.

Imo they are playing games. Block them.

OP has 1 BIN with Best Offer, all the rest are auctions, where Best Offer doesn't apply.

"all the rest are auctions, where Best Offer doesn't apply"

Best Offer can be added to auction listings.

All of the OP's auction listings have a Best Offer option

Offers won't be available if your listing is an auction with a Buy It Now price.

If you have an auction-style listing with Best Offer, bear in mind that:

If you receive a bid, current offers and counteroffers will be declined automatically and buyers won't be able to make any additional offers on your item
