keep on getting sold item appear in my unsold list, here an example

[arteis]

Hi,

This is happening time to time and more and more often (I had to do a complete inventory to month ago), I sell an item and it end up in the unsold list.

But today I have an example with an item that I only had one copies for sale so it make the problem clearer.

This post is showing in my unsold:

And this post is showing being sold:

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/272563988342?ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1559.l2649

I'v only posted this item once, on February 21, got sold on March 11th, paid on march 12th and somehow got relisted under a different item number on March 12th.

It mean after being sold the item ended up in the unsold list and got posted (under a different item number ?!?!) once I relisted my whole unsold list.

It would be so bad if being "out of stock" wouldn't be so hurtful.

I could "pretend" that the item was shipped and refund the buyer once he request a refund for "item not received", that's what the system encourage me to do, but I find that is not fair for the buyer who has to wait an extra 2 weeks before knowing that he won't have his item.

Right now I'm offering the buyer money (refund plus a bonus) to let me cancel the order as "request by the buyer" but usually the buyer never answer.

I try to be as perfect as possible but I often feel like the system is working against me.

Thanks for your help,

Keven Noel

This is still happening, each time I see 1 or 2 item alone in the unsold list (I usually post/re-post large amount of item at once) I check and the item is already posted.
it happen 3-4 time per month for 1-2 item.
These are the one I caught, god knows if I have duplicate posting (I do change my price often) within the 2300 listing I have. I did a complete inventory check but I can't do that weekly as it take over 12 hours to do.
It feel like I have Damocles sword on top of my head.
