This is a sad story and one that happened to me long ago. Luck for us, it wasn't many hundreds of $$.
The same scenario is occuring far more often and at much higher costs. We were able to warn the scammed buyers and they got refunds... That is, before eBay allowed the crooks far more anonymity. eBay's execs realized they were also refunding "their own cur" and started tossing the whistle blowers. The perfect business model.
Pardon the rant.
