I don't think I missed the point. I have certainly seen that happen.
Perhaps it was six minutes early. Frankly, I consider cancelling it in
the last day of listing as suspicious.
In any case, my beef is more with the sellers who cancel the auction
after I'm a winning bidder.
Stuff happens and I know not all of the sellers who do that have ill
intent, but it happens much more often than I'd like and I haven't found
any recourse to eBay with regards to it.
In fact, I was just issued a refund minutes ago after paying for two of an
item (the auction was for two) when the seller realized they didn't have two.
I have no reason to believe it to be any other reason than a mistake or
carelessness on their part, but it does leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Please quote
the selling policy as what I've seen in the selling policy
states that that's only illegal if a seller does that because they don't
like the final price.
Additionally - you missed the point. According to the Ebay policy, the
scenario that was presented *could not* happen. The seller would not
have been able to end the auction early with only 5 minutes left and a
cancelled bid in the system. The system *will not* allow it, not
matter what any of us thinks of it.
