Same thing happened here. Kinda. Mine was only $3 less but the info might help you. The day after the item arrived it was lowered on the site. I asked for a post refund and he said that it had to be an amount more than $20 and at least 7 days after the item was SHIPPED.
My item - I asked if I could return it with no penalty to me. He said yes and would send me a form to do so and they would pay for return shipping. Then I asked that if I order the item again at this lower price with free shipping if that would be okay. He said of course but the refund would have to wait until they receive the original item. Fine.
Then I said it would be cheaper giving me the $3 difference then have them pay for shipping both ways on their dime. They agreed it didn't make sense but they couldn't just give me the refund. So if you have the funds to pay twice for the item (until the refund comes through) and don't mine the extra time for the cheaper item then just order it again. I decided to not do it because of $3. But you might for $30.
