Got dinged

[qatara]

Is this fair for ebay to ding me when I canceled a sell when they allowed a sale of a item that had just sold out? Item showed 0 of 0 left and they allowed a buyer to buy the item.

It shows 0 left, because your buyer bought the last one.

It's impossible that you made a mistake.

Must be a ebay glitch.

     While probably not fair eBay is infamous for it's "glitches".

This is a known ebay glitch, do some research on this message board and you will see this issue is probably here to stay,   they can't/won't  fix it.

we had the same experience multiple times, ebay allows  items out of stock to be sold.

Next time contact your buyer and present this ebay glitch and offer to cancel and refund due to "buyer request" you will not get dinged.

You should not get punishment for the venue incompetence.

I love posts like this:

hold a few back for problems to begin with, and list such individually when the stock is out....

Covers you in case of problems....
