Fake sellers

I'm seeing more and more orders being canceled after a purchase and payment up to a week or later. They're using "buyer request cancel order" which is absolutely not the right way to do business, especially if the buyer didn't request it. My wife and I have had 7 in the past month and we do our part (which we shouldn't have to) and send messages asking, (do you actually have this item we're bidding on?), the answer is always YES. Here's the question, why isn't Ebay looking over these sellers (not the good and high feedback sellers) and putting restrictions on them and/or banning them? Customers tend to go elsewhere after awhile and in this case scams are getting worse on Ebay. You can't just cancel an order because it sold for less than you expected and then turn around and post it back up, that's a flat out scam! Again, why is this not being addressed, this isn't new, come up with stiffer restrictions, hold them accountable.

Fake sellers

Sellers that cancel without justification and claim that the cancellation was requested by the buyer tend not to sell for very long on eBay, at least if those buyers report that to eBay.

 

Before eBay takes action, buyers can avoid such sellers by choosing to do business with experienced sellers that have demonstrated that they deliver what they advertise, and by avoiding new or inexperienced sellers that have not demonstrated that yet.
