Fed up with sales cancellations | Community Mentor Help

I’m once again a victim today of a cancellation on an auction I won. Yet the seller replied to my questions about his item, he even sent me extra photos, and then when I won the auction, he simply canceled the order without any explanation or apology. I’m honestly sick and tired of wasting time following auctions just to get screwed over afterward. That’s what reserve prices are for normally; when you don’t want to sell below a certain price, you say so upfront. And eBay is complicit in this practice, which is becoming the norm now. “I didn’t sell for the price I want” well, too bad, I cancel it. It wasn’t like that before, I’m increasingly disgusted by how the site works. On top of that, I left this rotten seller a negative review, which won’t even serve to inform the next victim, because eBay has simply deleted the text of my feedback. It’s becoming less and less interesting to follow auctions on eBay, because it’s just too much wasted time for nothing. Before, a seller who canceled without a valid excuse would end up being penalized with fees; now it’s the wild west. No respect for buyers.
