Seller cancels bids when auction almost over then relists with higher starting price

[negan]

This has happened a few times. An auction is almost ending, I have the highest bid. I then get a notice saying the seller cancelled all bids. Then I notice the same item is re-listed with a higher starting price. The only viable reason I would think someone would do this is to try and get a better price for their item, but isn't that the point of starting an auction is that you choose the lowest starting price you would accept? There seems to be no consequnce for sellers who do this.

This is probably the craziest thing I have ever heard. Your logic just doesn't make any sense at all. 
Are you one of those people that list things at low prices then cancel because your greed is displaced by ethics?

Wow, you are still going...
If you list something at a certain starting price you should be obligated to follow through with the deal as is a buyer who buys something that is overpriced. 
This is how auctions work. If you want a certain minimum price for something, list it at that price. If someone bids, then that is what it is worth, if nobody bids you know you have started too high
