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.

Yes I know (today some time) but that screenshot is what shows up when clicking on their link, not under 'completed' listings, they are on the current listing page. Just like the one yesterday was before they got canned 

 

They should not be showing on the normal page

 

(and in this case, not at all)

When I went to look at the listings I got "No longer a registered user".
