She may be worried about getting negative marks from you because of the delay, and decided to cancel rather than risk that.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Kat - I can't wait to see that cake!
Also - I'm watching horseracing on versus and am amused by the many different ways that people are pronouncing Havre de Grace. Generally - some variation of the French or the Maryland - and often a combination of the two.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Challenging county fair parade today. The roller derby team skated but it started raining--then DOWNPOUR on the route. I managed to get my skates off but walked the whole thing handing out candy in the pouring rain.
My pads are soaked. I took the skates apart and cleaned, dried and oiled the wheels and bearings. I'm getting ready to put my gear in the dryer.
My cheap skate bag is toast. I need to find a new one.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I swear I can hear the Grand Prix cars downtown. It has a different pitch than the usual jets going overhead.
Oh YES they do. Yes, I has massive envy.

I'm sorry I left town before that, actually. Ah, well.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Cancelling a transaction that's already been paid for isn't the best way to avoid a negative mark... This was her comment in the cancellation email: "Seller comment: Please cancel transaction for me..I will email you if I can relist these gloves.. Thank You So Much.. I really apologize "
She'll email me if she can relist them? WTF? I mean, they're just gloves I bought on a whim; it's not a big deal and she's already refunded the money... but without any explanation, and after she's already mailed them to me once? If she hadn't gotten the address wrong, I'd have them.
I sent her this message: "I don't mind if you had to cancel the transaction, and thank you for processing the refund so quickly, but I would like to know why I couldn't get the gloves I paid for. Some explanation seems to be appropriate here."
I hope that wasn't too "mean".

Zenkitty,
are you sure she mailed them?

Well, she emailed me about two weeks ago, asking me to confirm my mailing address, because she'd gotten the gloves back. She's copied the address wrong from PayPal (I assume) -- wrong house number, wrong city. After I responded, I got no further communication from her until this.
So, either she did mail them, or she was lying two weeks ago to cover for why I hadn't gotten them yet, which doesn't make sense -- if she knew then that she couldn't send them, why not cancel it then? IDEK.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I once had a furniture seller fail to respond to my inquiries about their preferred payment options for an auction I won. But it didn't cost me anything, they never sent me info so I could paypal them or send a check in the first place.
I ended up not having any regrets, as it was a kind of tacky footstool that technically fit the theme of my living room at the time but probably wouldn't have looked that good.
