So I saw this today when I clicked onto a BIN OBO listing

Obviously I didn't make an offer of $18 on an item listed at $8.45.  I had offered $6 and to buy in quantity, but I had that in the notes and he sent me a message to work on the specifics of how many I need and to get me a price for that quantity, but in the BO, I had only put down $6 and quantity of 1...

BIN OBO was a good concept but eBay has tweaked it so much that I'm not surprised buyers have so much trouble using it!!!  Such as the multiple Best Offers fiasco that happened when they changed back to single binding offer.  I don't think I've done so many cancellations in the entire rest of my time on eBay than I did that month!

About two years ago I made an offer on a multiple-quantity listing.

eBay gave me a popup saying I could offer or I could choose to just buy it now. I thought about it for a moment and decided just to buy it.

Then eBay committed me to two of them. The auto-accept had accepted the offer that I didn't explicitly make (since I had chosen the other option). I had chosen Buy it Now from the two options THINKING it would cancel the offer (since I hadn't confirmed it). The eBay wording made it sound like I was choosing to make an offer OR buy it. It didn't make it clear that now I was making an offer AND buying it (and thus 2, since it was multiple-quantity and there were 10 left).

I felt like I had been deliberately misled into buying two.
