    No joy contacting Ebay? Or maybe try a charge back through your bank? Fingers crossed for you

    Report it to the police. They took things very seriously when I reported a similar problem, though I am in Notts where there is a special unit.

    EBay need to get a grip of scams like this they should not refund any money to a purchaser without ensuring the goods have been returned to the seller or the seller has agreed to the refund.

    Ebay don't give a toss. I sometimes buy from there but would never sell. There's too many scammers and no protection for vendors.

    I've always sold through forums. You'll probably get less for it and it may take longer to sell but never had a single issue. Unless it's collection for cash I send them it and say - have a go on it, if you want to keep it send me the money, otherwise just post it back.

    In dozens of sales only one person ever posted the item back. Never had a non-payer.

    I would make a complaint to eBay. They do follow these things up, but also report it to your bank, and the police.

    Yep. Go through eBay. They are under contract to deal with it. So stick to your guns and hold them responsible from now on. Insist, insist, insist. Don't let it go. Contact them every day.

    I've been through something similar. It was a few years ago now but I hounded them and they got what I wanted.

    From then on, I don't sell anything expensive on eBay.

    Scammers know how to work it but eBay's system simply isn't updated enough. Sometimes I wonder if places like this still run Windows 3.1.

    That is, an update in policy and systems to counteract this behaviour is dire. They'd rather not do it to save money.

    Discogs is even worse. You really are gambling on there.

    So I only buy from the big sellers now.

    I hope you get it sorted. It's a pain but stick to them like glue.

    Ebay normally refund the amount when tracking shows the return has been delivered at least they do when I return things. Didn't they ask you to approve the return and provide a label?
