Seller cancelled my BIN transaction but I wasn't the last person to buy (selling 5 of the same item)

[matildahughes22]

Morning,

Wonder if someone can help me....

On Wednesday last week I bought, & immediatly paid for a, BIN item - the seller had 5 of the same item, 3 had already sold and I bought the 4th. I bought my item after accepting an offer from seller, the other buyers didn't (this may be relevant).

Over night I have received an e-mail from ebay to say the seller has cancelled the transaction with a generic 'Item is out of stock/has been damaged' as the reason. I have been into the listing this morning and only my transaction has been cancelled, as I said above, all others bought at the original price including the person who bought the last unit after me.

Can I report the seller to ebay as it's clear they picked the person who paid least to have their transaction cancalled as apposed to the last person to buy? I assume, under these circumstances, I can also leave feedback to relfect my experience?

Thank you in advance.

By using the out of stock reason for cancellation the seller still pays the ebay Selling Fee and also the Paypal Fee is not refundable.

Could be cancellation reason was genuine as it will cost the seller about 13% of the selling price in fees.

Keep Feedback brief then therec should be no reason for it to be removed.
