When listing, the "recommended price" is adopted and my input is ignored | Members help members

Hello everyone, when listing items, if I’m done with everything and click on "List Now", most of the time instead of the price I entered, eBay’s estimated "Recommended Price" for the item gets applied without showing me this change. I then have to look at the item, check it, and edit it again almost every time, re-enter the correct price, and then check it again.This Recommended Price also almost always has nothing to do with reality, it’s usually far too low, sometimes by a factor of 10. I also never confirmed via the button that I wanted to adopt it.My question: where can I turn this behavior off?And what is the legal situation if the sales platform independently offers my items at a price I do not agree with, I don’t notice it, and the item then gets bid on?
