Cancelling bids on transactions for no reason other than changing your mind (*) is a very unprofessional way to conduct yourself on eBay, and, in fact, violates eBay's buying & selling policies. Personally, I'd be mighty peeved if a buyer did that on one of my listings.
------- (*) Permissible reasons to cancel bids do not include allowing one's whims to follow the changing winds

You say you didn't know that canceling a transaction violates eBay policy. Yet when you did it before, the buyer filed an unpaid-item claim against you. How much clearer an indication do you need that doing so is not permitted? (To say nothing of simply having a fundamental understanding of how to fairly and equitably deal with other people.)
When you are the winning bidder on an item and don't pay for it, you cause a lot of trouble and hassle for the seller, not the least of which is that he will be obliged to re-list the item. And most of the time, a re-listed item does not attract very good bidding. "Retread auctions" seem to take on a sort of tainted aura somehow and people tend not to bid on them.
You should have decided you didn't want the items BEFORE you won the auctions. If you do this enough times, eBay will show you the door. And not very graciously.
If you need it spelled out any clearly, check out the link below.
(I suppose certain people are gonna jump on me for calling you on your bad behavior. All I can say is, if they haven't sold stuff on eBay and had buyers leave them holding the bag, then they just don't understand how frustrating it is, nor do they realize the economic impact involved.)

I don't want my account to be suspended. I won't ever do this again in this case. I really did not know you can get suspended for having unpaid strikes on your account. |
