Can't Find Offer

I came across some cables in the marketplace here and made an offer on them. Only about 10% less than asking price. I then went to my Marketplace/Buying to double check, and it says I have not placed an offer on any listing. I rechecked a couple of hours later and still couldn't find the offer.

I went back to the listing and put the offer in again, just in case I had missed something. Still no sign of an offer anywhere. I know there is an automatic rejection of low ball offers. And some sellers don't want offers. But wouldn't I then get some notification, instead of letting me go through all the steps?

An offer 10% under asking price sounds reasonable to me too. This ad said the cables are 35% off list price. So I took 35% off their suggested list price, and that was my offer that was rejected.

 Maybe I will message them to see if they are taking any offers. I guess when I see the Offer button, I assume the seller is.

Yes, on the listing page I clicked Make an Offer. It then took me to the page with my address where I put in the offer. I clicked Submit Offer. A window came up to confirm, which I did. Then nothing.

Tried again this morning with the same offer. This time it seemed to go through. Went back to the item listing and a bar at the top said the offer was too low. Within a couple of minutes, that bar was gone. My Marketplace page is still saying  "You have not recently placed an offer on any Audiogon listing". So, no record of my offer. If I hadn't seen that brief notice on the listing page, I wouldn't know what happened.
