And are we ever seeing it run rampant these days. 
Part of those cancellations are probaby due to the cheaper items that show up on the buyers email AFTER they bought - and they simply cancel the first one and purchase a cheaper item. Of course with every click - Ebay makes fees, they don't care - and if you had a paying customer first - then paypal pockets that extra .30 cents - I would not put it passed them they have trolls that purchase things, pay for it and then cancel so that paypal can make their monthly revenue goals 
People have said it over and over - if you can't lose what you are selling - don't sell it. I am thrilled that Ebay gives us a "look" at the next scam in progress - each time that send a "iphone you can sell yours" or a purse brand or $$$$$ item. The main stream sellers (not chinese) are passing on that expensive item to sell here - so Ebay has to hit NEWBIES for the fresh meat of scammers. Sad really. Guess in some ways it is an expensive lesson in life - on-line is the way many people are getting life lessons because of the "greed, lies and deception".
When returns and cancellations become too costly for people - they will go to other avenues, you can count on it. So while Ebay is making that .05 or .30 a listing link to an outside source sale - another vender is making a sale - and I would laugh to think that people are probably listing their items for big bucks here and have the same item in another venue that links to ebay so they get the sale one way or another - just a little bit more complicated.
