eBay seller disappeared after receiving money

Its pure and simple fraud- take all messages to police station, pull the sellers contact details, check them on 192.com. You May have better luck with -auction fraud.police.uk/report fraud, im new member so cant post link.
small claims is an option, but can be a pain to actualy recover money from said scumbag, even if you win.

after buying a phone of ebay I learned one lesson.

Do not buy USED phones of ebay.

New ones from retailers on there should be ok but I wouldnt buy used.

eg. my phone was supposedbly in mint condition and barely used. It looked like it had been skidded across the floor with the number of marks on the sides. It does work but the cosmetic look is trashed.

It isnt been used as a main phone and I simply chose to not leave feedback in the end as I am now using it as a test phone (testing android roms etc.). I didnt want the hassle of trying to get my money back.

If you cant afford a new high end phone then there is budget phones brand new for less than you paid for that iphone 4s, some still very good phones eg.

nexus4 brand new direct from google £240 better spec than a iphone 4s.

amazon galaxy s2 brand new £235 ( a very good phone) although from a seller not amazon direct.

used phones on ebay seem to have barely 10-20% knocked off price on buy it now and even if you get a bigger price drop its too big a risk.

You really should have left negative feedback or how are people in the ebay community to ever know the seller mis-describes items?
