Take the money and chalk it up to experience. If there is no implied statement of money being paid for shipment back, just drop it. I buy and sell a lot of eBay and I'll bet you can ship the item for 1/2 of $36. These sellers try to pad their pockets with outrageous shipping prices, so don't use what they charged you as a guideline. If you feel badly about it, leave them negative feedback.
Having been on eBay for about 5 years, I'm afraid that what was initially a great community is being overrun by scam artist. I am right now in the process of getting a paypal refund on a monitor that I paid instantly for and the seller absolutely disappeared. During this search, I came across 2 other scams for the very same item. I think if you buy Porsche parts, you are mostly dealing with Porsche people who a generally honest. When you start going into mainstream items, (Ipod, xBox, etc) then you are inviting the opportunistic criminal elements. Funny thing about this is that one of the best prices I got for this monitor was off the Dell website.
