I go to the Problem Order page for that order. There is no option on there to
cancel it.

Make sure the order is in a status that can be canceled.

Thanks. Not applicable or not registered - are we allowed to do that? or are
the new silly rules about registering overseas now in effect?

Same thing. Block the air inlet and it should be hard to pull out. Not hard =
leaky part
If in doubt just try to MOC up something similar to a set and see if it works

Yes, it should. It's not a hydralic piston (fluids can't be compressed),
but a penumatic piston (gas, can be compressed)
But you should feel a decent resistance to compression and the piston should
not be able to pressed fully down (when the air inlet is blocked)
If you can press it fully down easily, it's leaking from the seal/top and
is defective

Or how to find it? I tried searching by name, part/design number and just looking

Well, I found that menu, but at least it does not act on "easy buy", but this
is, what you mentioned already. The instant checkout is also ineffective. I am
surprised, that "easy buy" is so inconvenient or nobody likes to use this
quite good function.

Hello Joerg,
The problem with the "Easy Buy" function is that there are no filters/parameters.
All you can do is click "Easy Buy" and it selects stores for you, from anywhere
in the world and regardless of whether or not the store offers instant checkout.
This makes the feature quite useless in my opinion. However, the wanted list
buy page that SylvainLS mentioned is essentially the same thing if you use the
"Auto-Select" feature, but it allows you filter stores by location, whether or
not they accept instant checkout, etc. This is much more useful in my opinion.
As a side note, the instant checkout filter will filter out stores that do not
accept instant checkout, but that does not necessarily mean that you will actually
be able to check out with instant checkout. For example, I used to have a weight
limit of 16 ounces for instant checkout orders, so my store would show up in
the list if you applied the instant checkout filter, but if your order was over
16 ounces, shipping would show up as TBD and you would not be able to use instant
checkout. Other stores only offer instant checkout for orders under/over a certain
value or only to certain countries.

The filters are on the Buy page: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/buy.page
, the link is in the Want menu / heart-shaped icon on every page, or if you click
Buy when looking at a Wanted List (not EasyBuy on the list of Wanted Lists).
You’ll need to click the “Expand” link next to the phrase “Store Filters” to
see those filters.
See this help page https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2445 it has pictures
and explanation for the basics.
Feel free to explore and click here and there, nothing bad will happen
And, of course, come back here if you have any other question.
