We are not out any money. I presume that if I had sent them money via PayPal, they would have returned it, but I did not try. The only "damage" here is to the principle that the seller should honor their contract to sell. The (automated?) reply I got from eBay after filing a complaint said in part: "We consider refusal to sell to be a very serious matter . . ."
I would probably ignore the whole thing, as I have in the past ignored a buyers who changed his mind and decided he didn't need that fishing pole after all, but a business with over 25,000 listings per month should be held to a higher standard in my humble opinion.
