It's not unusual to be found not at fault after speaking with an agent, with the buyer also being refunded.

In such instances, eBay funds the refund and nothing is withdrawn from the seller's account.

What you've posted here seems to be consistent with the above.

Here's a screenshot of the refund message...

"confirmed they cld clearly see this is a scammer"

"Wat is going on I'm in tears it's a 700 pound card guys"

So do you mean eBay went back on their word after saying they'd close the case ?

Instead they closed the case and refunded the scammer ?

Is the buyer in Australia ?

If you're in the UK, it may be best to post on the UK forum where they can advise you how to report to the police / online fraud IF this is what happened

Thanks. The OP's feedback and listings came up a blank for me. The only way I could sign in today was in incognito mode !
