ripped off
i purchased a pair of tiffany and co earrings from a seller and paid---24 hours later, she emails me and says she is having trouble getting it to go through (she recently opened the account after her old one was hacked, she says) and said she was canceling the sale and going to relist it--she canceled the sale, refunded my money and relisted them for a higher price---someone has already bid on them--is this considered legal on ebay--i know it is not ethical--what do i need to do?

The only thing illegal on eBay would be if she listed the reason for the cancellation as buyer requested to avoid the defect she'd receive for canceling as out of stock. If that's the case you can report the seller here. Beyond that all you can do is move on and find another seller.

·3 weeks agoYou weren't ripped off. There is nothing illegal about cancelling a sale through Ebay. The seller refunded you. I would suggest just looking for another seller to purchase these earrings from. You can report the seller to Ebay but don't expect much as in a suspension.

·3 weeks agoCancelled orders are part of the performance tracking of Ebay sellers.
When sellers exceed preset levels of performance problems they are punished.
Nothing will be done relative to any specific case where the buyer's order was cancelled and they were refunded.
You were not ripped off because you lost nothing other than what you apparently think was an opportunity to receive a bargain priced item.
