Legal / illegal and ebay in the same sentence doesn't make sense. They
only want to make money, and don't care about either sellers or buyers.
They added the fiction that buyers are great by banning negative
feedback against them for the most part. Buyers can do about anything
they like as Pete said, though the rules really don't allow cancelling
an auction at the end just because they don't like the results. I've
never gotten a response from any ebay protest during this sort of
behavior as well as worse.
Ebay should be subjected to some auction laws, which would ban that
practice, as an absolute auction with a final result. But what they do
for auctions are not auctions by most legal definitions, and I don't
think any legal attacks have succeeded.
The auctions are mostly like silent absolute auctions which are used by
some, and may be exempt from rules about making good on the delivery of
items in law.
IANAL
