For the last three weeks I have had the same item pending for 7 days and then cancelled to be reordered the following day and again pending for a week before cancelling and then reordering again. I know it is usually to do with payments. However, it is a business customer who has had the order pending now for 3 weeks.

Whilst it is pending it is not available for sale, am I being cynical here wondering if another seller has the same item for sale and I am the competition to be removed?
