Sold then refunded

I’ve had 4 items that I bid on, won and paid for. Lately. Then later they were refunded with no explanation. These were all from different sellers. I just wondered if there was a reason for this that anyone knows of?

Do you live in an outlying area, such as Northern Ireland or Channel Islands? Because there is a postage issue to those places.

What reason did the sellers use for cancellation? If it is for the reason suggested, then reason for cancellation should be “problem with address”.

Hi address is okay I think it’s to do with customs due to coming from America and it was listed as a pistol powder flask !!

Did you not think to mention this when asking if "there was a reason that anyone knows of?"

There is now!
