Firstly, check the item listing to see what the seller says about accepting returns; some will accept returns for any reason, some will not. If you need to return the item because it is broken or "significantly not as described" and the seller refuses to help you, you can contact eBay and ask them to help you resolve the problem.
Since eBay (not the seller) issued the refund and you have already been refunded, you are not responsible for returning the item. If you had not been refunded yet, and the seller was going to issue the refund themselves, they had the right to ask for the item to be returned before issuing the refund. In this instance, however, this is not the case. Unless eBay or the shipping company asked for the item, you don't need to return it.

A listing on eBay is a description of an item someone is selling on eBay. A listing includes the user name of the person who is selling the item, the price of the item, the shipping cost of the item, the location the item is shipping from, and a description of the item being sold. It will usually include pictures of the item, other items that person is selling, and how many people have looked at that item. Basically, a "listing" is the eBay term for what you might normally call an "ad", or an "auction".
"Yes, you can. It is possible to buy likely everything on ebay. It may not be a useful item though. It may be broken, destroyed, not working properly, or it could be perfectly fine. Be wise on what you are buying."
