 Perhaps he did, and it was declined.   I almost always pass on the "second chance offers".  It is a flaw in ebay's sytem.  You should not have to pay your max bid, if the top bid is withdrawn.  You should only pay the next  increment above bidder #3.  The second chance thing is generally a rip-off.  
I bet that more than half of the "second chance offers" are actually declined.
