Seller Canceling Auctions After Winning Bids: What Can Buyers Do? | Trading Cards

I recently won an auction on a live stream, only to have the seller cancel the transaction and issue a refund, claiming the card was worth more than the final bid. This felt unfair as I was not at fault for their oversight. What measures can buyers take to ensure sellers honor auction sales, especially when there's no apparent way to contest the seller's decision once a refund is issued? Can community members share their experiences or offer advice on potential actions or policies that could protect buyers in such situations? I have clear proof from the seller stating "this card was sold at a significantly lower price then the market value" but when I tried negotiating on the price, the seller would not budge and I ultimately paid for what they were asking for.
