  • Don't assume that.
    As @robatwork said, it would, more than likely, have been an out of court arrangement.

  • I assume they attended as they just told me that had been successful getting my money back
    Congratulations. I'm impressed. Out of interest, how did eBay react? Did the suspend or terminate your account for example?

    Your claim should have been against the buyer, not eBay.

    I wonder if you could expand on why you think this. It is eBay who have taken the money from the OP and passed it onto the buyer. 
    Because they're a middle man.  If you use your debit card and the buyer runs off with your money, you legally have consumer rights against the buyer, not the bank, or their merchant provider.

    This is basic level stuff here.
    Maybe the banks should use this fact to stop refunding people who donate their money to fraudsters
