If the seller is based in china or the product is not fulfilled by Amazon let the buyer beware he may have to wait/fight for his money back, and the likelihood of it shipping is slim to none.

Already cancelled, but is there a penalty of sorts for a seller cancelling? Seems to me it'd be easier for them to cancel all the orders than to call and email even 20 different people.
They can get their account shut down if they cancel that many orders. User cancellation has no penalty fwiu.

This is correct.
Seller cancellation hurts our metrics and even without getting suspended can have real financial impact. And user cancellation does not hurt metrics at all.

Good to know. Glad to cancel if that's the case since he was honest about it.

Weird, I didn't see the option in my order to cancel it, so I emailed him telling him so. He replied, it's cancelled. I then got an email saying it was cancelled by the customer. Can he cancel for me if I asked him to?

I was in Jerusalem, so (a) didn't get a phone call (b) it was cancelled by the time I checked email motzei Shabbos. And it was a generic email "Hello yaakov..."   -my name's not Yaakov :)  I guess he Copied and Pasted his response.
What's his email address?

I don't know his email, we were in touch through Amazon. Does your order also say cancelled by customer?

No, just says cancelled.
Looks like I did it. But I didn't..

I'm guessing they used an "auto-import listings" utility and mapped 1 column incorrectly.
