There is an eBay feature in place for some sellers. The platform will convert BIN listings, after a few weeks, to BIN or Best Offer. Then, eBay will email the seller to let them know Best Offers have been enabled...after the fact.

According to eBay, they do this because "allowing offers (of 50% off the BIN price) will increase sales."

So, in some cases, the seller didn't "put 'make a offer' in the sale." Sometimes, they just started getting offers when they never set up the listing that way.

It would be nice if eBay at least asked first.
