If you payed via paypal just go to paypal and get your money back... im guessing if this is a con paypal wasnt in his options to pay.

if you didnt pay via paypal then your fucked really and have learnt an expensive lesson.

paypal is set up to protect the buyer NEVER USE ANYTHING ELSE FOR EXPENSIVE STUFF

Ebay know this crap goes on and as long as they get there cut couldn't give a toss... look for the same auction under a differnet seller as im betting he has already set up a new accout looking for his next victim

on another note the reason he would be replying to your emails is because im guessing you hadn't given him a neg feedback at the time and was stalling to sell as many as he could before he got busted

PM me his username and i'll see if i can dig anything up on him... but in all honesty i think your fucked if you didnt use paypal
