I recently reported a Seller to Ebay for cancelling a sale after I had paid for the item, then refunded. I contacted the seller requesting why had the sale been cancelled ?. The seller replied " sorry mate but I can't let it go for that price." I replied to the seller informing that I had paid in good faith and that it is a breach of Ebay policy to cancel a sale due to Sellers regret. I then reported the issue to Ebay and left appropriate negative feedback as warning to other buyers. The seller replied "get a life ". Now after 4 days I have received no contact from Ebay and to add insult to injury the negative feedback has been removed, even though the feedback was accurate. At all times in the negotiating process I remained professional and polite. How can you have faith in a system that operates like this ?. I understand Ebay may well wish to protect a Seller due to "it potentially affecting their sales ", but how does this help keeping an honest and open feedback channel ?. My reason for posting here is the principal of the matter and protecting the buyer, because if all sellers became aware there are no consequences for cancelling a sale where does that leave us ?. Sure at the end of the day it is just a sale and we move on, but this cannot be encouraged via no consequences. I rarely leave negative feedback and as a seller avoid negative feedback by leaving a good service for my customers. Am I missing something here?, Please share your thoughts.
