The underbidder doesn't want the item, because he says he felt uncomfortable with how fast I sent the second chance offer (I don't blame him). So, I sell to the second underbidder for $35. Thanks, jerk. But, he can do this because eBay allows it.

Yup, I've had this happen to.
A couple months ago I actually had somebody pay me for something two weeks after an auction ended and then request to cancel right after they paid.
Claimed "their dad" bid on the auction by mistake.
I'm pretty sure they paid to avoid an unpaid item on their record, and then immediately went about the business of sabotaging the transaction.
Ebay doesn't give you much of a choice but to just comply. Especially with somebody who knows the ins and outs of getting out of a transaction.
