Was I too harsh? | Buying | eBay Australia

So I won an auction today for a new PC for probably about 60% of RRP (approx $650). I paid, then noticed a message from the seller. They stated they couldn't sell it that cheap but would I pay $1199 instead and they'd give free postage ($45). I said no and they offered 3 years warranty. I said out of my budget so they offered me $1100 instead. I pointed out they were breaching ebay policies and I couldn't pay more. They cancelled the sale. I reported them to ebay and left negative feedback, starting with don't buy from this seller. The thing is, it was their first sold item ever. They questioned why I left them negative feedback (which was kind of obvious). Should I have just explained what they did wrong and how to fix it (I did say in the feedback that they shouldn't start bidding at a price they are unwilling to sell at)? So now I'm second guessing my feedback.
