If the buyer had hit JP's BIN on ebay, and JP had then said sorry no sale I repriced it, I don't think anyone would be defending JP (perhaps I am wrong). So what's the difference in the two situations?

The answer is none. IMO, there was an offer and acceptance for a specified consideration. Thats a deal.
