"Your listing can now accept offers to attract more buyers".......HUH?!!

This morning eBay have ever so helpfully added 'best offer' to some of my listings without  any consultation or warning, and then sent me a message telling me they have done so. I have had to go into each listing and manually switch it off. I AM ANNOYED! I list my items at the lowest price I am willing to accept and any offers I might have received would have been declined, potentially ticking off a prospective buyer.

 

How does eBay think they are helping sellers by changing their listings behind thier backs?! Imagine if you walked into a bricks and mortar shop and stuck a 'make me an offer' sign up in the front window. You'd be put in a headlock and dragged out onto the street! Smiley LOL

It was on a couple of PSP games I only lsted for the first time a week or so ago. There was no reason for them to be selected for best offer, they haven't been siting around with zero interest for weeks. It seems really random. Good thing I logged on via my phone during my lunch break so I could switch it back asap.

 

I b****y hate this! It feels like someone is sneaking into my house while I'm out and rearranging the furniture.

They have done it to me again! On an item I listed for the first time only 10 days ago.

I realise that I am joining this conversation very late in the game, however I am my wits end with ebay switching my listings (which I DELIBERATELY set to NOT receive offers) to "Accepting Offers".  Isn't there anything we can do as Sellers to stop this?  I can't seem to find anyway to provide ebay with feedback on this issue.  Thanks,   Ashlyn
