Ebay, cover or not w/ bank transfer?

[Siiri]

I got a reaction from the seller! I sent a message that the Merry Treat  looks thr same in my lot and I will send pics for ebay.

Here is the answer:

"Nein ,es istncht das selbe Pony ,dieses habe ich selber erst vor 3 Tagn selber die Haare geschnitten Das kann nicht seinDann schauen sie die Bilder nach "

Why would he cut the hair himself?

If there is someone who can translate this I would be happy! I don't think I understood it right :/

  Sorry no idea what that says hopefully some our German Speaking Arena Members can help Maybe but it in your title so they no to look

If he has said he has cut the hair himself well I dont think so they have sold a lot of ponies they obvs no the value so I dont think they would of cut the hair on 2 ponies that are the same short. Did you point out sky rocket too? think that is a more obvious one as why would the same 4 front plugs be cut at the front....

Very odd.... 

Google translated it to this for me....
"No, it is not the same pony, this I myself have cut themselves hair just before 3 tagn This can not seinDann they look at the pictures after"

If he is saying it cannot be seen in the pictures point out skyrocket to him as you can definitely see that one.

Edit: I have thought about ringing but I'm afraid they wont speak english I know a little bit german but not enough for this

Just saw this sorry, Ebay do have english speakers in every country they have to so don't worry, just try lay everything out infront of you ready, that you want to tlk to them about or write a list so you dont forget what you want to say to them

Thank you for your advice

Is there anyway you can open a case up through your bank to recover your money? I know here in the US, banks support their customers if scams happen with proof. And you clearly have proof. Goodluck!

This is actually what I was going to suggest. It will depend on your banks individual terms & conditions in regards international transfers as well as your type of account and if it has insurance included within it. But it would be termed as fraud and for that reason most banks will take an interest of some kind. At this stage unfortunately due to the time since the sale and that you paid bank transfer, ebay could well wash their hands of the situation. So its worth trying a different route. Even if so that you can perhaps let ebay know when you are talking to them that you have referred the transaction [through their website] to your bank as fraudulent.
