+1; weak sauce from the seller ... he listed it and the auction ran to
completion ... It always irks me when people renege on eBay auctions.

It's obviously up to you, but I'd have strongly considered disputing it

eBay as a seller refusing to honor the auction results is every bit as
bad (or even worse) than a buyer refusing to honor the auction result.
The value of it was determined. It's the $5 you were willing to pay and
that no one else was willing to pay more for it.
Just my worthless $.02

Just FYI -- the seller and I failed to reach an
agreement; I assume this
means he'll be relisting it (hopefully with a starting bid or reserve
that
matches his expectations).
