@thecatspjs No I'm not talking a single seller I'm talking many sellers that was just one EXAMPLE I clearly said that was last nights cancelations alone if you want more I have plenty want me to start listing them.
The fact is it is happening more frequently as the OP was asking and I'm responding to.
If you want me to list more cancelled auctions I have plenty as most of the stuff I collect goes to auction to get as much as possible and much of it does get cancelled as its sold to people making offers to the sellers prior to the end of auction which they do except and save on fees.
I don't blame them nor do I care I'm mealy pointing out it is happening more often especially in certain categories. And sure there are some people with genuine reasons to cancel but in most its not its either because it has not reached its expected price or its sold out side eBay. And before you say that don't happen I can tell you on a collectables its rife.

Here look at it like this. Im selling an oil bottle Golden Fleece worth $2000 its at $1200 I get email will you end our action and sell to me cash for $1800 and I will collect it today with cash , As a seller what are you going to do It might make $2000 and I pay ebay fee,s PP fee,s worry about it getting broken during transport or do I say yes its yours for $1800 if you collect now you then cancel auction and bids and pocket the money its rife.
OH and yes some oif these oil bottles do sell for that much and even double that.
Neptune oil bottle sold on here $3251 2 in the last year in fact 1 at that price the other made $3250 that's a lot of fee money to be saved. Like I
