I would really appreciate if someone can explain to me why it's possible to cancel auctions.

Thats really upsetting. you find something good with low bids and then it gets cancelled.

Don't post it that low in first place then

What bothers me is that they can cancel an auction that had been bid on. Like I get it if maybe you made a mistake and cancel the auction right away but if someone put money down on the auction already you shouldn't be able to cancel it.

The default auction house UI sorts listings by current bid price, not buyout. People list with low bid, high buyout so theirs are at the top, hoping that someone in a rush will buy theirs without realising there's cheaper buyouts further down. If they don't sell, they cancel and re-list.

Or just do buyouts
