Canceled transaction

Question

@zaricro won an auction today and paid for it and immediately after seller cancelled my order with a generic excuse that there's something wrong with my address which is totally false. I contacted the seller numerous times and have been ignored. I feel that this is happening due to my low winning bid.

I now know this is the case as hours later he relisted the item and blocked me from bidding on it even though I still have had no communication from him

This is another reason why Auctions are less than 15% of eBay listings.

The seller is required to ship even if there is only one bid, and many set their opening bid too low.

Ignore auctions and go for Fixed Price listings. Not only will you know what you will pay, but you can even use Best Offer and if accepted, get a better price.

Was zaricro the Seller? Only sellers can cancel orders. Buyers can only request cancellation.

It won't get you the item, but it may give them a strike since sellers (generally) aren't allowed to do that.
