eBay gets their money from sellers.  I think that's all you need to know 
about the value of that "contract".

Your minimal recourse is to leave negative feedback.  Of course, that 
invites "retaliatory NFB", one of the weak links in eBay's FB system.

This happened to me once, only the item "sold" for $1.

I would say, unless you like paying lawyers up front in the hope of some 
return, you have no real recourse.

Of course, if you have a brother-in-law who likes you and lives in the 
seller's area, and is a little unstable...
