The second chance offer is a legitimate ebay process, but it does lend itself to fraudulent practices. Your only "assurance" is to check the feedback on the seller. If he's not an established seller with a good number and low negatives, run.
ebay really sucks on helping with fraudulent transactions. The $200 lower bid sounds suspicious, but if the higher bids were from low or poor feedback buyers, it's either bids from someone who wasn't serious, or a bid building buddy. I usually abandon a bidding fight with one of those because the price can escalate unrealistically.
