Thanks go-tazz, yes, I've asked them numerous times to show me the difference in markings, as well as ask them to go to their Hermes boutique to check, but the buyer ignored all my questions revolving the marking differences. Therefore, I'm pretty sure they're scammers and not genuinely mistaken. What befuddles me is what exactly could they provide to eBay to make it go in their favour.

The buyer even changed their names just today. Very suspicious.

I've left a second note on them to say they've scammed me, and eBay removed them. eBay's basically endorsing fraudulent activities!! 😞
