This is bad selling, but they cannot be forced to send out an item. Some just do not understand that there is a need to list auctions starting at the lowest price they are happy to receive, they then cannot be disappointed.
The seller selected ' buyer requests to cancel' as this does not affect their selling performance. If you like, you can contact Customer Services, explain you did not agree to any cancellation and were disappointed not to receive your item.
You will not know of any action taken, but they will probably place a damaging defect on the seller's account and charge them a seller fee based on your highest bid placed. eBay do not like unhappy buyers.
If you wish, this is the easiest and quickest way to contact eBay Customer Services, for a Call Back option.
