Maybe whoever is local can slip over and take a nice pic of the house. I'm sure you'll get your money back very quickly when the scammer sees his house in your mail

Just having a nosey at his Ebay history. Sold a baby swing he claims his daughter got 2 weeks use of, on account of her learning to crawl so quickly.

She's probably out picking pockets as we speak.

Also, he's used quite a fancy layout and stock pictures on almost all his auctions, which indicates either a pro scammer, or he's scraped the layout off other people auctions. Heck, I've been ebaying for a few years and my auctions aren't as fancy as that.

I would send the picture with some "I know where you live"

That should do it
