Seller cancelled auction that I won and put 'Issue with buyer's shipping address' as the reason
Summary: springyzone describes an experience where a seller cancelled an auction they won, citing an issue with the buyer's shipping address as the reason. The item was supposed to be shipped to Australia using eBay's global shipping program, but was relisted with a higher starting price. springyzone suspects that the seller expected more bids and is seeking advice on how to acquire the item. springyzone concludes that the sale is unlikely to proceed with this seller for that price, suggesting bidding at the new price or finding the item elsewhere.
Seller cancelled an item I won and put 'Issue with buyer's shipping address' as the reason for cancellation.
Item was located in the US and the seller had listed they will ship to Australia using eBay's global shipping program.
I suspect it's because they were expecting more bids, but I was the only bidder.
The item has now been relisted with a higher starting price.
Is there any way I can get the item?

·1 year agoNot off that seller for that particular sale, you can't.
It's done and dusted, sale cancelled, refund given.
You'd be 100% right-the seller wants more for it. At least they have had the sense, this time around, to relist with a higher starting price.
You may be able to get the item if you bid on it now at the higher price.
Or else you may need to source it elsewhere.

·1 year agoNo. You can't force anyone to sell to you.
I would report the seller, and source the item elsewhere.
