Cancellation of purchase and watchlists | Members help members

I have a serious problem with selling items: When I list bulky items and specify that they must be picked up in person, some buyers, often newly registered ones, supposedly buy them and then immediately cancel the transaction. After I agree to the cancellation of the transaction, the item appears on eBay again, but all views are lost, and most importantly, my item disappears from many potential buyers' watchlists. What am I supposed to do? Not agree to the transaction if there are doubts about the intention to buy? But that doesn't seem quite right, as I might accidentally reject a genuine buyer. It would make more sense, when the item is relisted on eBay, to at least notify those who added the item to their watchlist that it is back on sale, or to restore everything to the way it was. I consider this to be a bug on the website that unserious buyers are exploiting.
