Unfortunately they are right. Ebay is not responsible any more than an airline is responsible for weather problems. Their remedy is only good in the ebay world but not the real world. In most states a buyer has three days to change their mind so I would not think there is any way to force someone to buy your item. Long story short, you got screwed by the person that bought it. At the very least do you really want a collection of a bad debt on your credit for $50? The only real remedy is to try to get the money out of the guy but fat chance of that happening.

Ebay listed your item fulfilling their end of that bargain, I know you are angry but they did exactly what you asked them to. If no one had bid on it you would still have to pay the listing fee, same as advertising it in the paper or auto trader. That fee does not guarantee a sale, it is just what it says, a listing fee. If you had placed an ad in the paper and no one came would you want your money back? All they can do is sanction the guy from bidding on more stuff from ebay.
