I won an auction yesterday and paid immediately. Come to find out today that the seller cancelled the item and marked it as buyer requested a cancellation when I didnt. And apparently, a seller can cancel a sell within 30 day (what is this loop hole?).

The seller has relisted the item for $150 more than I won it for

Complain to eBay support. Usually they side with the buyer. I'm not sure what they would do in this specific scenario but at the very least the seller will get dinged.

Only thing you can really do is give negative feedback.

It was a maze trying to find how to actually talk to someone at ebay but they just gave me a link to where I can report the seller.

This isn't true at all.

Ok, new stuff just happened.

The seller made me an offer that is about 19$ cheaper due to free shipping with UPS Ground. Is this to make up for his fuck up or is he trying to scam me somehow?

I sent him asking why he cancelled but has to comment on that and instead sent me a flat offer.

I guess you just have to ask how badly you want this thing to trust someone who's already doing shady stuff.

Well, to cover my ass, I went ahead and let eBay support know. So theres eyes on the transaction before I decide to accept.

I would make him answer why he said you cancelled it when you did not, make him answer the hard questions before you proceed with the transaction, and ask him why he then listed it for so much higher than you bought it for. Make him admit any crappy behavior.

$19 cheaper from what you originally won it as, or $19 cheaper from his boosted $150 price (aka $131 more expensive)?

Back out now. Hes taking the offer outside of eBay and even when I was a regular user the company warned against that.

Or just start the auction at the lowest price he was willing to accept. Some sellers want all the benefits (drawing in buyers with a super low starting price), but don't want the accountability or risk of the increased traffic that they intentionally aimed for.
