NO. Ebay will have frozen his money once you opened the request, but that's his lookout. Once you close a request you cannot reopen it. Continue with the case and escalate it after 8 full days, when the option appears.
Do not close a case until you have your refund. If you do, you won't be able to open it again if you don't receive a refund.
