    If something I'd sold turned out to be fake, I'd get the buyer to return it and refund all their costs. I would expect the same from a seller if I was on the buying side.

    I'd then take the item back to the place of purchase and ask them why they are selling counterfeit items as genuine! (Realise 2 years is a long time but I'd like to hear their answer).

    As a fellow ebay seller I sympathise but, you did agree to return what he asked for did you not. Do it and move on the better person

    And for what it's worth, I would take it up with the shop you bought it from, it sounds as though you shop their often and they might do something as a gesture
