eBay did not follow through on a 'make an offer' listing.

I sold an item at full price, but it should have been lower as the customer asked for a lower price in 'make an offer'. How can I rectify eBays mistake? I cannot talk to eBay help, just comes up 'fix it yourself' answers. No help.

Refund the difference.

If you had accepted a formal offer, the sale would have been completed at that price. If it wasn't a formal offer, eBay have no knowledge of it.

 

eBay Help, unusually, is correct - fix it yourself.

I can't even  see any of your completed listings that have 'make an offer' on them

 

They all just show as 'buy it now' 

 

Unless you mean on another account

 

Was it indeed a 'make an offer' on the listing or did the buyer just send an eBay message asking for a cheaper price?

The item was sold - the seller admitted they accepted a lower price.

 

We all know what buyers are like - as said previously - refund the difference - keep the buyer happy - as it was an an acceptable price.

 

Everyone is happy.

They also said it was made in make an offer

 

Which the seller does not 'offer'

 

And blames eBay for it

If the buyer sends you a PM,  asking a question,  as part of your answer, you are able to make an offer as well.  Even if you dont have it turned on for your listing.

 

I use this quite often,  if a question or an offer price is made by PM.

Sandy was actually answering the OP - who stated it was in ' make an offer '.

 

If in a PM all one has to do is edit the listing.

In a pm a"" make an offer"" is an option available to the seller when they recieve a pm from a potential buyer, you don't need to edit the listing.  OP didn't specify where the make an offer was generated from.

This ability to reply with an offer only appears when a member makes contact through a particular item. I often have people replying to a message I have sent and adding "would you take an offer of $$$ on item XYZ." You then have to tell them to ask the question again while they are looking at that item OR adjust your item listing so that an offer of $$$ is automatically accepted and inform them of that.
