Cancel shows as buyer requested

Question

Hi   Confused by something that’s never happened to me on eBay before.   won an auction on Thursday.   Didn’t see the notification till late Friday night that payment was due. Also had a message from seller checking ‘if I still wanted it’.   attempted to pay last night however app was unable to connect - I’m away from home.   this morning the item shows that Thr seller ‘accepted my request to cancel the sale’.   This doesn’t make sense as  I never requested to...

Your seller was clearly very impatient. Sellers can use the reason 'buyer asked to cancel' but clearly should not do this unless it is the truth. If you want to, you can report the seller to Ebay. Personally, I wouldn't bother. Just find a better seller to give your business and money to.
