I'm not sure you can cancel bids when the auction has ended, can you?
but you can make a second chance offer to the 3rd place person (if you're happy with £200) since clearly the first and second place are fraudulent in some way (perhaps hacked accounts?).
If you search completed W910 auctions there are half a dozen that come up over £1000 (one over £2000!). interestingly though they are all different usernames

I'd say definately a scammer, you'll probably get an email or a fake Paypal payment asking you to send it to Nigeria or somewhere like that!
Report it to Ebay as being suspcious and that the winning bidder is probably using a hijacked account.

Agree with all the previous guys, plus to avoid scam buyers i always put credit card holders with PP accounts in my set buyer prefs.
