I have tested this with a lot of my own auctions and it always worked. I always offer my items with Buy-it-now & Best Offer and after the auction I print a copy for my records. And the price is always the one I have accepted before. So for me it works fine.

Does it behave in the same fashion for someone other than the seller, though?

Has anyone noticed (recently) that auctions that have finished with a Best Offer having been accepted ("Best Offer Accepted" image below), have actually gone for the full Buy-it-now price ("Buy-it-now" image below) when you use the TCG finished auction function (www.tolkienguide.com/modules/auctions)?

It works the same way if I'm not logged into my account.

The cause appears to be that the daily update has not happened since November 18th or so, so anything that ended after that day was not checked for final status until I nudged the system. Not sure why the background process got hung up, but I will keep an eye on it to make sure it is back to normal.

Yep, just tried it also. Handy to know - I suspect it is a bug, so might get "fixed" at some point.

Cheers Jeremy! And apologies Laurin666; I didn't look carefully enough at your first post, where the price is clearly £250 (& not the full £285).

Okay, so for this item I'm not getting any green price when using the TCG finished auction function:
eBay Item #181602856680
Is anyone else getting the price accepted?

Hmm, indeed. I do, now, too. But it didn't work yesterday.

I have many improvements in mind that shouldn't be too hard, but I think you checked the item before the nightly background update. You were looking at old cached data. It should update for you automatically when I improve things a bit more.

Sorry about that!
