Shipping is non-negotiable. There was a shipping fee there. Once he accepted the offer, he could NOT remove the shipping fee even if he wanted. Ebay takes at least 12.9% of the shipping fee too. You need to learn to make offers WITHOUT messing with the shipping fee. I would NEVER have accepted your offer if I had seen you wanted free shipping. It's possible that the seller never noticed your request of free shipping when he saw your offer.
Ebay can NOT do anything. Move on. As for the cancellation, ebay gave the seller a few options and that was the best option. I too would have chosen that option. Now move on. Find your card from another seller and leave this seller alone. You have wasted enough of his time. Now he has to pay to relist that card or use one of his freebies. Move on.
