I'm pretty much speechless. How disgraceful ! What a cheek ! Some people have hides thicker than rhinoceros's.
I would be reporting them to eBay and sending copies of all the messages - I dare say eBay won't do a damn thing, but I wouldn't be able to contain myself with such a liar !
Would be very interested to know who this charming person is - I don't suppose you'e Following them by any chance ? 
Edit : I type too slowly, kopes beat me to it 
Great minds MB. 
Arlotts, I'm a little surprised given the nature of your items.
I have always thought members of your fraternity to be gentlemen.
Always a few I guess.

@Lol... Good try but not very bright !?!?!? - 12th April 5.22pm Buyer purchases item $160.60 + Postage - 13th April 9.40am - Item Posted & Tracking Number uploaded to his Purchase History via Click & Send - 21st April - Message from Buyer - "Hi there Mate. Just wondering what the latest is. Item not received & Tracking Number is incorrect" - Checked Tracking Number on AP Tracking Site - Shows Delivered on 19th April @ 1.19pm - Messaged Buyer "Hi nnnn, Not sure what is going on but I just checked AP Tracking Site & it shows Item delivered @ SIGNED FOR (little white lie on my behalf) to nnnnn Street, nnnnnn town, @ 1.19pm on 19th April. The Tracking No. is correct - Let me know if you think the Mail has been interfered with & I'll launch a Formal Enquiry with AP & the Police" - Message from Buyer - "Thanks but I've just spoken to Aust. Post who gave the same information (thought the Tracking No. was showing as incorrect - AND he managed to talk to them after they have closed for the day - WOW!!) - Next Message from Buyer - "No need to worry - They have found it" Seems the threat of launching a "Formal Enquiry" with Aust. Post & the Police plus my little white lie about it being signed for made him decide not to try for the Freebie....
They could have been trying it on....
But, just to play devil's advocate (based purely on the info provided, there may be more than cinches it one way or another obviously) - the tracking number being incorrect, may have just meant they couldn't get any results for it, for any number of reasons (C&S numbers won't always show real-time updates directly on eBay or change the status), they may have also copied it incorrectly when they tried it on the site and (as is a habit of some buyers) thought there was a problem eslewhere other than with what they were doing.
If they called AP support they would have read out the number and perhaps got it right that time (it doesn't say what time the buyer's message came through where they mention speaking to AP, and phone support is available 8am to 6pm Australia wide, i.e. still available at 6pm in Perth when it's 7pm elsewhere, so they have longer hours than the post offices).
It is not unheard of for a 'delivered' status to be false, or for packages to be delivered to an incorrect address. I'm not actually saying it's more likely your buyer was telling the truth, just that it's at least feasible.
But, all that being said, if it was me and a seller told me the package said signed for, but I definitely hadn't received it, I would have taken issue on that point, because I would know if I've signed for a package and I think I'd start to panic because it would seem like a $160 order was delivered to someone else.
The best one I ever heard was a buyer claiming an item wasn't received (this was before the days most parcels had tracking), and after a little back and forth between buyer and seller, the seller agreed to refund, at which point the buyer responded with the usual thanks etc, then said "just one other thing, my phone number was on the package - how did you get my phone number?"
Totally busted
