    Reason for cancelling an order
                     

    I don't understand why ebay does not have a reason for cancelling that states "mistake in the listing". No one is perfect and sometimes mistakes happen. I am tired of getting negative feedback from buyers over sour grapes because they didn't get their item for $1.00 with free shipping!!!!!!!

    < I am tired of getting negative feedback [for my mistake in a listing] >

     

    Your Reply to that feedback says "Don't bother shopping here anymore as you are now blocked!"  That seems like an overly hostile remark.  It's okay to block anyone, of course, no problem there, but surely it's a mistake to carp about it, especially in public.  Not a good look.  If I saw that reply by a seller I was considering, I couldn't get to the Back button fast enough.

    @uniquefinds119,

     

    Do you really think ebay is going to allow cancellation for Mistake in Listing without consequences?  Cancellations are already an issue on ebay and you want it to get worse?

    At one time a was a medium volume seller and that along with work and family responsibilities ate into my time.  However, after one mistake, which I ate, I was much more careful in reviewing my listings before posting them. If My schedule was really packed I scheduled the start times to give me a chance to check them carefully before they started.

     

    Blaming your buyers for your mistakes makes you look even worse.
