eBay listing Cancelled??

[BayDomainer]

So I was bidding on a domain name on eBay and after a couple hours, I received this email from eBay:

eBay Listing XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Cancelled - Results Null and Void

The listing in which you were a bidding participant:

XXXXXXXXX - LLLLLLLLLL.com

has been ended by eBay. Since the listing was ended by eBay, for the transaction itself is null and void.

1st Choice - We ended the listing due to bidding activity that took place without the authorization of the owner of one of the accounts that bid on the listing. We have ended the listing to maintain the integrity of the eBay site and the bidder?s account that was accessed. We are working to restore the bidding account to its rightful owner, and we are working with the account owner to prevent any additional unauthorized activity.
or
2nd Choice - Due to privacy concerns, we cannot disclose the exact reason the listing itself was ended. However, we can inform you that we did not take any action on the seller's account for this listing.

ADD to either choice: As a result, we have informed the seller that they may relist their item if they wish to do so. Please feel free to re-bid on this item under the new item number. To locate the new item number, please check the sellers list of items at:

Does anyone know what this means?

the seller is probably under investigation for fraud. do you happen to remember their feedback score?

received the same email about a domain with 'duck' in it. turns out winning bidder's account was hacked and he didn't actually bid on site. Nothing to do with seller; which is indicatrd in the email as well

Yes, the email makes it clear that there was no fault on the seller's part. He likely will re-list the domain, and you will have to find it.

Ebay should notify the legit bidders in cases like this when the seller re-lists, so both sides will not have to completely statrt over. But that won't happen.

it may happen sometimes when the seller puts the domain in wrong listing category or putting his e-mail/phn number etc in the description
