Neither obligated, nor able to buy.

Does ebay give the seller the option to sell the item to the highest bidder if the reserve is not met?

Doubtful. eBay would rather the seller repost the item with a lower reserve (so eBay makes more money).

I think it's against the eBay 'laws', but the seller could contact the highest bidder and do the transaction outside of eBay. Both would save money. Of course, there is also a risk (no feedback possible, no buyer protection etc...)
