Why is it so complicated to cancel one sale of a multi item listing?

So I just found out (by getting a neg) that I refunded ALL THE BUYERS for an item instead of just the 1 that requested a cancellation. I called eBay and there is apparently nothing that can be done. Once it's cancelled it's cancelled. Even though onl...
