I recently tried to sell a camera on eBay. Twice.
Both times it was removed after it closed. Both times I received an email that stated:
The results of the following listing(s) have been cancelled due to bidding activity that took place without the account owner’s authorization:
OK, I get that. Someone got phished and that means the winning bid was invalid, not to mention outlandish (in this case, over 2x the value of the camera). But they pull the entire listing and if you try to go to it, it’s ‘invalid’. At the very least, I should be able to see my own listing after the fact so I could at least try selling the item to one of the other legitimate buyers. But nope. Instead now that item doesn’t come up which has the added side-effect of making me look bad, when in fact I did nothing wrong except try to sell my camera. (more…)
