Item not as described?

I bought something that wasn't as described, but had to open a case, and then the seller agreed to refund, so I sent the item back.
It was signed for, and the surname printed on the RM site was the sellers surname, but I have received this from the seller
"I tracked your package sent through Royal Mail, and noted that they said that I had received and signed for as such. Unfortunately this is not the ease. I did not receive your package, or sign for anything. Upon checking the Royal Mail delivery record, where a signature should be recorded, a number appears scrawled?? I will be happy to refund once I have received the package back, but I do not have it here yet, so at this stage, I would suggest you take this matter up with Royal Mail. I presume you returned using a service that covers you for loss or breakage, as recommended? "
What should I do.. it's clear the seller has received it, but they're just stalling.
AS you have a case open upload the tracking and point out to paypal that the item has been returned and your refund should now be made.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Thanks soolin, but how do i do that? my case is open within ebay not paypal, and it only gives me the option to close the case or add a message. Apparently the case has to be open for 10 days before they take over.
I did upload the tracking number on the 19th.I Hate Jobsworths!!!0 -

Sorry I've never seen an ebay case so I don't know how they work. Maybe try phoning ebay and explaining that tracking shows delivery?I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

ok thanks. I have emailed ebay and explained.
If they go in the sellers favour, can I also do a paypal dispute, or would it be too late?
I can't believe this seller is saying it's not his signature, when clearly someone has signed for this (with the same surname as his) at his address!I Hate Jobsworths!!!0 -

You won't be able to open another case, if the tracking is showing delivered though you should win.0
