The ad was pretty clear that he was selling a ten count.

I think it was a mistake, but hey, it is an auction.  If you bid "by 
mistake" you couldn't back out without having your reputation as a 
buyer tarnished (at the very minimum).  I would definitely take this up 
with the eBay folks at a minimum, and if they don't give you the 
satisfaction you are looking for, leave bad feedback.
