make sure you cancel the bids first as deeb said.
i placed the opening bid on an item and the seller ended the listing without cancelling my bid, ebay sent me an automated email that i won! i wasn't gonna give the guy a hard time but you don't want someone leaving you negative feedback etc.
you can try and see if you can get your listing fee credited to your account.
