Never close a case - you can't re-open it or open another for the same order.
Wait for the option to get eBay to step in appears and use that.

NO--- do not close the case, as once closed, it cannot be reopened !. Continue through the eBay case for your refund.

If you have to escalate, seller get a defect, which will damage his account, so unless he deals with your case, it is worth waiting just to teach him a lesson.
It is completely untrue that seller cannot refund while case open, seller refunds through the case without damaging their own account.
