Cancellation

I was only one person who was interested in an item. The bidding period was 6 days. I have won the item. The seller has canceled my order.  Reasons: "I'm out of stock or can't fulfill the order for another reason." After cancellation in couple days the item was for sale again. I was trying to bid but the seller has blocked me. I decided to contact him and find out reasons for his decision. His response: " I only sell and know how to sell in U.S. And for some reason i allowed canada when i didn't want to." I understand I cannot force him to ship the item to Canada but this option is still available on his site. Is this normal  behaviour of sellers on ebay? Why buyers have to be hurt and sellers do not care. I even cannot leave a negative feedback. I believe it is not right. Thank you!

Re: Cancellation

I had this happen before with a U.S. seller. I was bidding on a old pocket watch. Not even the best quality but it had a horse on the cover which I liked. The watch was listed using Global Shipping and I eventually won the auction being the only bidder. With in a half an hour after winning the auction I received a message from eBay that my purchase was cancelled. I messaged the seller and I was told they didn't ship to Canada. Oh yes, I did contact the seller before I bid for some info on the watch and the seller was ok with my bidding then. With in 24 hours the watch was relisted with no Global Shipping but it showed shipping to the U.S. and Canada. Go figure. You can be certain my purchase was cancelled because the seller was not happy that the watch didn't go for more money.
