Given a neg after item was out of stock and not sent.
 

A customer bought an item from me and when I went to ship it I realised that I had listed one too many items and it was actually out of stock. I refunded him in full and then send a mutual agreement to cancel the transaction. He negged me then cancelled.
Is there any way I can get this removed by eBay or do I need to send a feedback revision request?

Never tell a customer something is out of stock.

Always tell them you found something wrong with the item and you do not want to send them a defective item.

Customers 99% of the time will understand that you do not want to send them a defective item and refund them right away.

Works like a charm.

no you cannot get neg removed......Ive had way more unreasonable negs than that, and no removal......

You can try to open an unpaid item case, and ask ebay to remove it. This may, or may not work. If he's not a busy buyer, in other words, if he never logs in, this works all the time...

Also, if he is suspended, the neg is removed too :)

cheers for advice people
