Buyer failed to go and pay custom duties in his Country Germany. He put in a case of item not received. EBay refunded him before item was returned. iThis dispute was on German even though item sold on eBay Australia. Buyer after refund went and paid the duties and had item delivered. Buyer ended with refund of $3300 and my Comic book . I put an appeal in as if item was in customs was an option for appeal . Appeal denied . Now when I contact eBay with proof of item delivered and Australia post investigation stating so .. they send it to German eBay who say case is closed and they can’t do anything. Any suggestions. I try to get my seller protection activated but all the eBay agents say is we have to send this to Germany for resolution. 3 times they have done this and I get the same email from German eBay ‘ sorry this case is closed’ . Please help

Details and tracking uploaded. Buyer only went to pay duties as soon as eBay refunded him in Germany . Proof of item delivered tracked and signed for . EBay Germany are saying case closed. No appeal. EBay negligent for refunding buyer without waiting for proof of item being returned. Now buyer has refund of $3300 and my comic . He has committed fraud and I will be getting German police involved if eBay don’t resolve the issue
