    How do you know the offer option is the same as the buy it now? AFAIK it has to be at least a penny cheaper.

    The one day bit is probably just a leftover from a previous.
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    Sorry, didn't try it 1st time, just tried though and got same message. I don't know unless the seller set it to reject all offers less than 99p???

    Hopefully someone more useful will be along soon

    Have ebay done something silly again like made it so that all offers have to be 99p+?

    Most likely not the sellers fault though.
