Did you just 'accept' in the email?
OR
Did you actually 'purchase' 'pay' 'buy it now' on the ebay site?
If you only 'accepted', the item was still available for purchase.
If you 'purchased' you can take action with paypal or ebay.
I'd be ticked too but if you didn't purchase through ebay you don't have any recourse.
Hope you find something you like or the same iron
