In the past two months, I have had three auctions end with no bids and were relisted by Ebay, not by me. It also changed the listing to accept "Make an offer". Any one else having this problem. For the most part, I use templates and never have those options in my templates. Thanks for reading.

So you are saying that ebay restarted your item after the auction closed without bids? I do know that they recycle items that dont sell within the term for buy it now items but have never seen them modify an auction item like that. I just did a draft auction list and the Good Til Cancelled does not show like it does on buy it now items. Hopefully it is just a glitch.

The started doing that almost two years ago along with lowering your asking price after so many days. Those are new defaults, you have to change the settings in your listings.

I know there is a setting to auto relist with a lowered price if it doesn't sell but I never heard of the make an offer being turned on. That might be something new.

The automatic "make best offer" thing has been a big complaint lately. Another complaint of recent months is Ebay automatically defaulting to "free shipping".
Some seem to thihnk these glitches happen more often if you list using the mobile app on your phone vs listing through a regular computer/laptop.

I have seen this issue when bouncing from their app to desktop when setting up items. It doesnt save all settings and what i thought i was saving at was then submitted or I caught it with some other setting.
Free shipping came back to bite me on a few items where i ended up in losses with postage. Lol.
I have been more cognizant of that lately and making sure.
As far as the relisting being wonky, I have yet to have a auto relist offer something different.

I don't use apps. Just desktop It really is rare that it happens. Only a few times and oddly, twice to the same card. Oh well, nothing major just an inconvience.
