So on the 28th I called Ebay and said I was pissed off at the one sided nature of the case, the options open to me were refund him (not happening ) send him a tracking number (done on the sale) or keep sending messages that was a waste of time.
I asked when I was going to get the chance to show that I had sent the goods and that they had been signed for, they took 5 minutes and found for me and closed the case.
This keeps going, on the 9th Jan I get a message from EBay saying that the account that made the purchase may have been compromised and that they were restoring it to the rightful owner.
So I assume they force some sort of password reset and identify check.
Then on the 14th I get a message from the account , that I now assume is the correct owner. It said that Ebay had refunded him all his money back (no evidence of this on the dashboard) and could I send him my bank account details and sort code so he can send the money to me !? - I ignored it.
Then on the 27th he opens a PayPal case. PayPal again sent him the tracking and there was no reversal on my account or any other restrictions. I called them yesterday and they said they thought the case was not valid, they asked me to send a picture of the paper receipt of postage, which I did. I also told them to look at the messages he had sent me since the 1st of Jan.
They closed the case in my favour last night, so lesson here is send it with tracking and keep your paper work for 180 days as people can open cased for this long via PayPal.
Not sure why this guy has bothered, he was never going to get aware claiming he didn't receive his goods when I had sent it via tracked postage.
