Bill - when things like this happen to me, I tend to use a mathematical term to explain it. As a matter of fact, this term comes in handy in describing most mischief springing from the actions of a few hiding in large groups.
That term is Lowest Common Denominator and the bigger the group (i.e. EBay's customer base, etc.) the lower the Lowest Common Denominator becomes.
My experience is that Ebay will assist you if you have a valid beef. I just recently had a none responding bidder/buyer. I opened a case requesting that the transaction be canceled. Ebay makes the effort to contact the buyer themselves and then allows you to cancel the transaction...with all fees returned. Then you can relist. The worst thing is that this can take more than a few days.
Just remember, LCDs live and walk among us...don't let them eat your brain!
