 I just sold an item on EBAY, or I thought I had.  Had nine different bidders on the item.   Two minutes after it sells,   I am notified by EBAY that the buyer wishes to cancel the sale.  As a seller, I get two choices.   If I already mailed it, do nothing.   Second choice is to simply cancel, which I did.   I want no further dealings with the whacko.     I was able to block him from future auctions.    I have to say this is the first time this has happened to me in ove 800 transactions.    But all it takes is one to leave a bad taste in your mouth.   Oh and EBAY doesn't let me rate this clown.   

I dont like that eBay got rid of the negative rating option for sellers. They make their money from the sellers, not the buyers, so for them to take a tool away that allows sellers to see who is a bad buyer before the auction ends is wrong.

E-bay get money from sellers    Sellers get money from Buyers   E-bay should keep both in mind when doing their policies. 

With all the data E-bay collects on each person  (seller or buyer)  They can figure out who the bad guys are IF they really wanted to.  Why they do not do it I do not know.  The only resaen I see is the $$$$$.
