I made a “CREATE NEW OFFER TO BUY BTC WITH USD”

Why does it show up in the SELL BTC area?

Is that not backwards?

So since you made an offer to BUY BTC it will appear under the SELL BTC tad since a taker would have to SELL you BTC in order to fill your BUY BTC order.

Or put another way… bob wants to sell some BTC, he will go to the sell btc tab and sell btc by taking your buy offer.

It is a tad different then traditional exchanges. But i hope that clarifies.
