>>1165315I did a little google dot comming on this topic and it seems that when you buy from the general Amazon marketplace (i.e. private sellers/companies with listings on Amazon) you can cancel the order and it'll still appear on the "purchased" list because at that stage the transaction activity is out of Amazon's hands. It's a known issue that they apparently have not yet resolved.
However, when you buy from Amazon itself or from "Fullfileld By Amazon" if they cancel the order the item will be restored to your wishlist as unpurchased.
>tl;dr: to prevent this from happening in the future try to only add items that are sold by Amazon or Fullfilled by Amazon and not 3rd party retailersAlso whoever's dicking around like this should go fuck off and get help.
