Hi,
I don't think any seller will bear such huge loss. Forget about remedies as frauds like Shakawat Hossain are cheating in lacs in this process, every week, unhindered. So it will be a good gesture by a seller if he honestly mention that being new he failed to understand the bidding / selling process hence don't want to proceed with the deal.
I know you are aware of frauds by Shakawat Hossain but I would like to mention about him here for other new comers, after all your threads seem to be very popular. Actually, to me the listing by this new 0 rated seller cheap...... is looking very similar to that of Shakawat Hossain's.
Caution for all new Bidders:
On this board there are several postings regarding the fraud cases by one Shakawat Hossain. This person is cheating in lacs every week thru false IDs.
He lists Electronics items and Gold items ending within a narrow bid closing time of 2-3 days.
On bid closing, he asks every body for payment or transfer to an ICICI account (no. 628001029477) at Howrah, WB, in the name of Shakawat Hossain
He does not accept Paisapay in spite of such high valued listings.
His mobile remains on for about 4-5 days after the date of closing for the items. Once he gets several lacs in his booty , the mobile goes off permanently. Currently the person is using Life long incoming free connections of various phone companies. You can recognize that from the mobile nos.
For those who have already been cheated by one of his several new IDs, they must report that to eBay immediately.
But it won't yield much result as the max. refund from eBay can be Rs.9950. In my opinion , those who have been defrauded must report that directly to the CID - WB, thru the following link , with all details. Some officials handling the cases of this link are very active and may be of some help.

Do not expect eBay to lodge any complain on your behalf, they have a lacklustre policy in this regard. However, they promise to support the case.
I am sure that very soon somebody will file a good case in this regard and the legal department of eBay will get a big jolt for such inert, passive, mute and miniscule action against multiple frauds. Hope the court will not bar all eBay transactions in India till the case is solved.
