Agreed, reserve prices only bind for the SELLER not the buyer. Moreover, even if the seller wants to remove the reserve during the auction, eBay won't let them directly--it makes a new reserve $1.00 above the current high bid to give the current high bidder the opportunity to confirm that he is still interested in the item (at one add'n dollar).
Finally, I definitely do not adovcate this and have never done it, but eBay is not really as binding as you might think. (Sellers beware.) People back out of deals all of the time. About the worst that happens to you is the deadbeat bidder gets negative feedback, the seller gets no money, and eBay may revoke the userid of the deadbeat bidder. I think it has to happen a few times before they cancel your account, but they might be more strict with eBay motors.
