Changing a Listing!

Hello everyone.  When I shop on ebay it is usually with ebay.ca but occasionally I shop on ebay.com.  Two nights ago a came across a listing on ebay.com which I was interested in.  The sellers listing stated they would ship to Canada but to message them for a shipping quote.  Their item was up for bid or buy it now.  It had just been listed and no one else had bid yet.  Yesterday I received a message from the seller about the shipping charges which were high but i really wanted the item and was willing to pay the shipping.  I proceeded to go and buy the item and low and behold the buy it now is gone and the item is now just up for bid.  One  person had bid  on it.  Then I get a message today from the seller stating that they would be willing to remove the item from bidding if I would be willing to pay $150.00 plus $42.00 shipping.  The original buy it now was $44.00 and now they want $150.00.  Are sellers allowed to do this?  Also,  why are the shipping charges from the States going out the roof?  It almost doesn't make sense to buy from the U.S. because the shipping charges are going so high.  I make a point of not purchasing from sellers using that new Global shipping program.  It doesn't make any sense at all!  Thanks in advance for any feedback.
