Seller did remove listing!

Hello again everyone.  Yesterday I posted a question as to whether a seller can remove a listing because of low bidding.  A member on this forum suggested that eBay removed the listing because of the fact that the listing totally disappeared from my eBay account.  I checked the message that I received from eBay and it states the seller cancelled the listing.  I messaged the seller yesterday and received a message back that he received an good offer through the buy it now option of the listing and by doing so cancelled my bid all together. They say the transaction with the other buyer was within eBay's rules.  The problem with this is that there was no buy it now option on the listing, period.  This seller disregarded my bid completely to sell to another buyer who was offering more money.  I don't believe this is within eBay's rules.  At this point I really don't care about the glasses but I do care when sellers are pulling a fast one on buyers out of greed!  Just thought I would provide some follow up on my message from yesterday!  Have a great day everyone!

There is a difference between a listing being removed and cancelled.

 

You stated yesterday that it was removed

today you say it was cancelled/

 

Ebay removes listing and they dissapear

the seller can cancell listings but they still show up.

When I said that the listing had been removed that was just my choice of words, sorry about that. The message from eBay says that it was an eBay bid cancellation notice. The fact remains that my bid was cancelled because he got a better offer when the listing showed no buy it now option or offer option. It;s a bit odd that the listing would completely disappear from my accounts when the seller cancelled the listing.

By cancelling your bid to sell to someone else, the seller violated policies if they did an outside ebay transaction with the other person.

 

Don't worry about it. Find a better seller.
