I sell on eBay and I certainly make mistakes every now and again. I can see where the seller is coming from.

I agree with the above. Doesnt seem like an ethical situation to me. The seller was honest with the buyer about the whereabouts of the card and promptly refunded the money. When the card returned from PSA, he offered him the card at fair market value (FMV because the buyer paid it). The seller did not price gouge or extort the buyer. He simply offered a product to him first. A product, that isn't necessary to survive (Well, at least to 99.9% of the population).
You can say that a PSA holder doesnt matter all day long, but it does matter. It matters as long as people are willing to pay an increased premium for a card sitting in a holder.
