abelscc, have you tried to find your eBay seller’s contact information? http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQtZvbQQsofindtypeZ9. This search result will give you seller’s name, phone number, city and state, but not the actual street address.

I had a similar situation not too long ago. The fraudulent seller was permanently suspended from eBay, I could not obtain seller’s mailing address. The original package I received did not have a complete return address. After several tries, Paypal allowed me to mail it to Paypal, instead of the seller. When you return the item, make sure you mail it with a tracking number and return receipt, if possible.

When you buy on eBay, try to pay with your credit card via Paypal. So you can charge back if you are not satisfied with the purchase. Paypal is totally worthless when there is a dispute. Paypal does not cover received item that is “not as described”. All Paypal cares is that seller sent you something with a tracking number. It can be totally different from the auction description.
