I recently won a bid item that this seller had listed (located in the US), on the listing the seller stated to contact them if I want it to be shipped internationally, I messaged them prior to purchase and they quoted me the postage to my location (Australia). After winning the bid item they took nearly a week to add the shipping costs to the item. They messaged multiple times demanding i pay for the item which was impossible as they had not added the shipping costs and eBay would not allow the purchase to be completed. After letting a few days and quite a few messages to them with screenshot proof that they needed to add shipping before I could pay, they finally added shipping and I thought that the problem was solved and I paid for the item.
Two days later I received a notification that the seller had cancelled the order on the grounds that the item was no longer in stock or damaged. After messaging the seller asking why they cancelled after being screwed around for over a week. They stated that they didn't know that it was being shipped internationally, despite multiple emails to them regarding international shipping and their agreement to send it internationally. It feels like this person had no intention of sending this item, but as they cancelled the order I cant seem to find a way to report them for dodgy practices or leave negative feedback. Is there anything I can do regarding this issue or does the seller get off scott free only to probably do the same to someone else.
Thank you for any assistance in this matter.
