Was I too harsh?

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.

Wishful thinking on my part

They have since listed another computer

I can't see it. ??

? Ended at 9.28 this morning

There was a single listing there when I posted the comment, and still there now

But when clicked on, then it says 

This listing was ended by the seller on Fri, 1 Nov at 9:28 AM because the item is no longer available.

But there was nothing at all prior to that, 

First time I looked there was a load of carp

Second time, nothing at all

Then the random there/not there/ended if you click 

Clearly not an even slightly clever scammer

That's what I saw.

Saying it ended Friday morning.

a scammer would not continue to use an account with -1 feedback score, just open another account.

Registered as a Business Seller, too 🧐

I wonder what Shoaltech thinks of this?

[sandypebbles]

That's what I mean, not even slightly clever

Just did a search using the title - seems it's still showing.
