Edited - problem solved

[fingerpaints]

I purchased an item through a BIN on ebay from the seller melissa2743, only to have her almost immediately send a cancel transaction case and tell me "sorry the item is no longer available" I messaged her to ask why she had it up, and why was she backing out immediately after my purchase, and waiting on a reply. It's a bit of a bummer, as I had been after the particular item for some time
 
I would just be aware as a buyer that this seller could possibly pull something similar. I could understand if she gave me a proper reason, but once you have put it up, and it actually sells, you are held accountable to send that item to the buyer once they make payment. I understand sometimes things happen, like a seller could accidentally break or damage an item, but to give no excuse is pretty lame.
 
Just a bit down right now about it. I don't want to shut the case as I really want the item, but I don't want them to get all pissy about it either.

Just got a message back, looks like she got her wires crossed or something, and thought I was someone else trying to buy the item after it had already sold? I am not too sure. I am going to be picking the item up, so hopefully it all goes well from here on in, odd situation none the less :/ not really too sure what to think of it all.

She has been in touch, apoligised and we have it all worked out. I do think it was a genuine and made a mistake, however it all still seems a little strange, I am hoping it all works out none the less just glad I will be able to get my item anyhow

Just wanted to update, recieved my item today, I think the seller was pretty genuine, possibly just having a hard time understanding things. She did seem nice though, and just made a mistake, I think someone else tried to also purchase the item and I had already purchased it? Not too sure, but, I have it in hand, and very happy overall
