Yes, once closed you cannot yourself, open another for the same item with eBay.
It's worth asking eBay Customer Services if they could reopen this case for you as it was closed in error.
This is the easiest and quickest way to contact eBay Customer Services, for a Call Back option.

Lines open between 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays.
9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends.
I recommend contacting CS very first thing in the morning, when the lines first open, as there's more chance of Dublin answering.
