I'm assuming your concern is that the seller you have bought from and the new buyer are one and the same...

It's unlikely that a seller would go to the trouble of creating a new account, and buy something from their own unhappy buyer, every time a buyer didn't receive something.

It's possible - but extremely unlikely. Is there a close connection between names addresses? Any other similarity?

you would be amazed... i had a nutter of a buyer who pulled out of a sale within a few hours, ( i never even got to send the item!) and then the nutter set about wrecking my feedback via other accounts bidding on small items over the course of a month. the interesting aspect was that it uncovered a clear shill ring of linked accounts (from widely diffferent locations), but, of course, ebay did nothing and i later saw this ebayer repeat this pattern on other unsuspecting buyers and sellers. as Berislav Zlokovic says, "99% of hunches about botheration on Ebay are correct." i too would cancel bid and block.
