What is worse, seller's remorse or shill bids??

And, in the same week as the transaction above, another canceled sale. Not a good week for me on ebay. I bought and paid for a pin on the 18th in an ebay auction. Right after I won the auction, the seller (a woman) messaged me with a note saying she didn't think mine would be the only bid on it. She also included her phone number. I didn't call her, but my guess is she wanted to renegotiate the price for the pin AFTER I had won it for $200. So, 11 days later after I paid, no messages and the pin isn't marked as shipped. So I messaged her twice on different days and she didn't respond to either message. So, this is my last message to her:

Ok, so you decided to ignore my first 2 messages to you about the status of this pin. This is my third and final message to you. I'm going to ask once more, have you shipped this pin yet? It's a very simple answer, either yes or no. If I don't hear back from you or have the pin in my hand by 1:00 EST today, I'm going to open a case with Ebay for item not received. I'll let them deal with you. You've had my $200.00 dollars for 11 days now. That was plenty of time for you to ship the pin and to have it arrive here. I'm trying to be patient with you because you're new, but you're choosing to ignore me. The $200.00 wasn't a loan or a donation to you. I either want the pin I paid for or I want my money back. It's pretty simple.
Your selling on Ebay isn't off to a good start.

I reported both canceled sales to Ebay and in their infinite wisdom did absolutely nothing to either of them.
