This is a new combination.....

$9.99 starting bid or make best offer. The purpose isn't to go lower than the $9.99, but you can make a lesser offer:

That weird offer is gone but I saw it and was surprised by it. I don't think I have seen that before.

Seems like an eBay listing glitch.

Ebay's listing software was really screwed up yesterday. Very glitchy. Worked a lot better today, but hung up on loading photos every so often. For such a large public company they sure suck at fixing their glitches.

I saw a listing like that yesterday. $0.99 starting bid or best offer - it was about a $10 card. I sent an offer tonight but have not heard back yet.

It is an ebay glitch. I had an auction that was currently a price of best offer. When I used it as my template to "sell similar" item, and converted it from a fixed price to an auction, the listing showed a .99 cent opening bid with a "best offer" option. Strictly an Ebay glitch that disappeared once the first bid was placed.

That does sound kind of crazy though. Being that it is ebay it is believable.

Dear wandw-auctions,

You may have noticed that a Best Offer option was recently added to some of your auction listings created between October 8 and 10. This feature was added to your listings in error. We apologize for the error. We are working to remove the Best Offer feature from your active listings and plan to do so by end of day, Friday, October 13.

In the meantime, if you wish to avoid receiving offers on affected listings, you can revise your active listings to auto-decline all best offers below your starting price. This will ensure that you will not receive any Best Offer requests for this listing period. However, if your item automatically relists, the Best Offer option will appear on the relisted item. You can revise a listing's auto-decline amount by going to Manage Offer settings on the listing's item page.

That was nice of ebay to add a best offer for their sellers.
