Does this happen because of a bid retraction that VCP was made aware of, and then the final sale price is corrected?

We've looked extensively into this issue and have been in contact with our eBay representative. It seems to happen only with Best Offer listings even though at times it will not indicate that it's a BO listing on the site. The issue is that the eBay API is reporting a different price than what is found on the eBay site. We've pointed this out to eBay and they say that the API price is the correct one but they are not clear about when they can fix it. Our hands are tied on this one. We can't force them to fix something that's broken.
