For what reason would a seller remove an item from sale(it already had one bid)...and then re-list it?
I noted that the postage charge/means of delivery had changed.

Items can be removed up to 12hrs before the end of an auction providing there are no bids.
However there is basically nothing e-bay can do to stop people withdrawing items even when there is a bid. They say "It is frowned on" but that doesn't help the person who has bid.
This normally happens when the seller doesn't think the item is going to fetch enough and they don't want to part with it. Also some sellers will make extra profit on postage. I don't know in this instance but I would hazhard a guess that the re-listed item has a higher postage charge on it.
