Seller said item no longer available then relists it next day

If the seller does NOT do the right thing,leave a neg with the comment DISAPPOINTED That way it can`t be removed by eBay.
I always honour a sale I have had items I could not find or have oversold(it happens) and I have bought elsewhere and sent to the buyer,I also help other sellers out from time to time.

As no-one has mentioned filing a non-performing seller report......can you still do them?

Yes I believe you can in the resolution centre.

Good idea, but....

I'd be happy to do that - however, I noticed on Sunday that he's just relisted exactly the same item (and due to the nature of what it is it must be the same item - he's used the same picture/description too) for £30 BIN.

Well, amusingly the relisted item at £30 didn't actually sell...

Anyway, it's come to the point where I'm going to leave negative feedback.

I have two choices:
a) "After auction end buyer cancelled auction" or "disappointed" - as dizzy suggests above.
b) "After auction end buyer cancelled auction and then relisted item at a higher price".

I must admit I'm veering close to (a) rather than (b) as I do not wish to have my bad feedback removed. I'm sure in a court of law I could prove (b) had happened quite easily, however with ebay etc. I suspect it may be easier for him to get it removed. I'd rather the bad feedback mark stuck to be honest.

Thoughts?

I would change 'buyer' to 'seller' for a start

hermum

Seller wouldn't sell for £20, couldn't sell for £30, both of us disappointed.

Out of those 2 options I would choose (b), it's factual, you're not being abusive and it doesn't fall under the guidelines for feedback removal so it would stay even if he complains.

Shouldn't A) be Seller cancelled auction.

My suggestions
A) Seller cancelled auction, Then similar item listed.
b) Seller lost item, but had a spare to list next day.

Oops, I have a lot of self-hatred issues I'm trying to resolve ;-)

It's Friday, what can I say?
