multi variation listing revision on stock availability not updating in listing

[misflutterby2679]

Hi all

i have a multi variation listing for cushions, 2 particular cushions are no longer available, as you cant revise the description of the listing, 3 wks ago i had to cancel 2 sales due to the no stock and updated the listing itself with availability total of 0. This was meant to remove them as a purchase option (or so it says in the listing that stock with 0 available will not be shown). 2 days ago a buyer has purchased the exact 2 cushions that i revised to being out of stock???? How can this happen, especially after an earlieier transaction was cancelled due to no stock?

it is currently showing in inventry that 1 of the cushions is now out of stock but the other isnt, which would be correct if the original stock numbers of 4 cushions were correct and unrevised, however they were revised, manually in the listing and also reported as out of stock when cancelling the listing.

I have no idea with Ebay anymore, and no faith in anything they tell me, so I thought maybe someone here may be able to tell me what has happened, if Ive done something wrong or is this another error by the system that I have to take the rap for?
