What to do when an ebay seller decides to cancel a transaction after the item was won, bought and paid for?
Resolution center didn't help much on this matter...... What then?

Hi straitcut-
There's not a single right answer for this. Has the seller reached out to you with an explanation? Did they issue you a refund? Looking at it from the PayPal side, if I'm reading your info correctly, you've currently paid for and have not received an item. That is grounds for filing a dispute through your Resolution Center.
However, if the seller has refunded you your money, there's nothing really actionable on the PayPal side. You have back what you put into the transaction in that case.
That does not mean you have to be satisfied with the outcome, which becomes an eBay issue. You should be within your rights to leave feedback for the transaction if you were the winning bidder / buyer. And depending on how the seller handled this with you, that could mean a corresponding positive or negative rating. Additionally, you may also want to let eBay know about the situation in the event that this is a pattern with the seller. eBay has to offer a way to cancel a transaction in the event that an item breaks, a mistake was made or something about the listing makes the info no longer accurate...however, per eBay's Help Section on Ending a Listing: "Sellers are not permitted to cancel bids and end listings early in order to avoid selling an item that did not meet the desired sale price. This is considered to be reserve fee circumvention. Although there are legitimate reasons for ending a listing early, abuse of this option will be investigated" If the seller is canceling listings simply because they're not happy with the final price, you can let eBay know about it.
Thanks,
Jason
