eBay what are useless site

I put in a bid and win it.  Because they didn't get what they wanted they canceled the order.  That is just b******* eBay complete b******* I don't think I'll be buying here much more.

eBay cannot force a seller to ship anything.

If the seller cancelled as "out of stock" or "lost or broken", the seller received a costly account defect.

If the seller cancelled for another reason such as "problem with buyer's address" or "buyer requested", you can report the seller for cancelling for an inappropriate reason here:

Sellers that routinely cancel without valid justification don't sell for very long.

Buyers can minimize the chances of buying from such sellers by choosing to purchase from experienced sellers with a proven history of delivering what was sold, and by avoiding new or inexperienced sellers.

The seller already got a "defect" when s/he cancelled the transaction (unless s/he lied to eBay to blame you, in which case we'd need details especially what eBay said the reason was in the cancellation notice). That is the primary tool eBay uses to weed out bad sellers, downgrading the selling status of those who get too many relative to their sales volume (as opposed to having to pay employees to actually investigate to see how likely it was that the seller had a legitimate reason to cancel vs. deliberate policy violations).

You may leave appropriate (calm, factual--if the seller said that x was the reason say "seller said x. . ." so people don't think you are just jumping to conclusions) feedback to warn future buyers/bidders. If the usual links have vanished, go to anyone's Feedback Profile (doesn't matter who, click on the feedback score in parentheses behind the username) then scroll down to below the last comment on that page to find a "Leave feedback" link that doesn't vanish (it brings you to a list of items you can leave feedback for).

Theoretically you could sue the seller for breach of the contract of sale (for the difference between the auction price and what you ended up having to pay for a replacement), but that is almost never practical.

I think it was just a new scammer I'm going to keep an eye out for this one.  Like I said the bid never went higher than 99 cents and I think they wanted way more.  So instead they just canceled.

Nothing wrong with it.  The bed never went higher than 99 cents and they expected much more.  So they just cancel after you won it.   I'll keep an eye on the scammer, believe me.
