Buyer reneged on a best offer acceptance

[loml888]

I sent a buyer a best offer which they accepted and I committed to, and then I get an email saying they declined the offer and has since sent me an invoice for the original amount.  Is this an acceptable practice?  Or should I email them asking why they decided to decline after they accepted my best offer.

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks

I'm not following you here.  How can a potential buyer send you an invoice?

Sorry...I meant I sent a seller a best offer which they accepted and I then committed to buy.  Then I received an email stating the seller has declined the offer and I received an invoice from them with the original price before the offer. 

Just wondering if Ebay allows this or not and if I should contact the seller to ask why they changed their mind.

Thanks for any help.

I would ask the seller if there was some confusion in the communication, not if they changed their mind.  It's a bit more tactful and there's less chance of your message being misinterpreted as that of a raging loonie.  😉
