Mate Im not suprised. eBay has been getting more and more fussy over the past year and they are so strict in what you can and cant do now. Yet the scammers (and theres heaps) still manage to pull off thier work perfectly.... beats me!
A friend of mine got scammed AU$1080 last week for a ring that never existed from a scammer who lives in the UK and he wont see a penny of that back.
