The disclaimer says it's a binding contract to buy the car. It doesn't say it's a binding contract for the seller to sell the car. I learned in business law class that a landlord can have a person sign the lease, which binds that person to renting the place, but if the landlord doesn't sign, he's not bound to renting the place out to that person. Now, that being said, if the landlord lets the person take possession of the place, it's considered that he also accepted the lease, but until they take possession, the landlord isn't held to renting to that person. I imagine the same thing goes here, but would have to read eBay's rules.

Regardless, the dealership won't honor it and they'll just accept the bad feedback and close their seller account. I bet someone is getting an ass chewing, though.
