ebay theft
I’m not going to post any of the sellers details just want advice
Bought a phone as "100% brand new" phone arrived, very second hand, filthy scratched, call and text logs listed on it. anyway contacted the seller and he advised to send it back and he would refund my money, sent the phone back by recorded delivery and nothing !
no contact with the seller for over a week so i opened a dispute via paypal, he then contacts me to advise he would pay me as soon as i rescinded the action.
Against my better judgement i did and now nothing!! he doesn’t respond to my emails and now i have rescinded the action PayPal will not open another dispute on the same item ! ive reported him to Ebay, no response. He continues to actively trade on Ebay. Again reported him as a fraudulent trader and i await Ebays response.
Any ideas ?

How long has it been since reversing the dispute?
In fairness the money is frozen by paypal usually so he cannot refund the money until the dispute is closed. But its also a clever scam.
Just out of interest what was the feedback rating of the seller like ?

Are you able to reopen a dispute? I have never tried that.
Have Ebay or Paypal had anything to say about it ?
Has the phone been relisted?
Just wondering if its a hijacked account or something

Sorry pal, you've been suckered and lost your money.
Now the case is closed, Paypal will do even less than the **** all they'd have done had you kept the dispute open. You can't re-open it. The amount will be too small for the Police or small claims to be interested in, so best just chalk this one up to experience or pop a suitably worded letter in the post by recorded delivery and see what happens.

Keep an eye on his future listings and put a bid in for £1000000 on every one and it may be help to start a few bogus accounts up in your wifes /kids/friends name to help it along...works a treat

If the guy has feedback of 275 mostly positive then I can't see him ripping you off purposefully for a mobile phone. Does he have any active listings/activity?
Maybe he's gone on holiday

You have his address so should be able to find out his number, ring him (and record it) so you can see what the story is.
You can go though the small claims court, it will cost £25 to start a claim I think (which you claim back from him if you are successful), he has to reply with his side of the story or the Judge will rule in your favour and you can send in the baliffs.... https://www.moneyclaim.gov.uk
Did you have a photos of the phone as you recieved it? any other proof/documnets/emails all these can be used in your favor.

You have his address
Go round an recover the debt yourself. If you dont feel confident in donig that take a friend with you
Trust me he will give you the money if you turn up
If you dont fancy that start posting him dog **** an anything else you want
Start terrorising him until he refunds you
Then make posters with his name an address on them stating he is a paedophile.
A bit extremem but people need to learn its bad to rip people off
