You can mutually close the non-paying bidder report (assuming the buyer tells eBay they agree) in which case you will receive your Final Value Fee (not the listing fee) back and the bidder will not receive an unpaid item strike. Though if the buyer paid you the FVF, that just seems fraudulent, unless you plan to refund the buyer once eBay refunds you.
