Yeah it is legit, BEFORE it was recovered I tried to get them to cancel it. BEFORE I got it back they deleted bids instead. AFTER I got it back and the auction had ended I wasn't happy with the fact that potential price changing bids had been deleted so I REFUNDED the winning bidder and CANCELLED the TRANSACTION the listing had ended at this point, there was no listing to cancel. Hope that clears it up for you.
Before you got it back you should have just cancelled it. eBay don't need to be contacted, you just click 'End Item'. Seriously man, you made this a lot more complicated than it needed to be.
