I think you already know you got scammed. The guy couldn't care if it was new printer or not. He was just scamming you and sending those messages just to test you and may be prove to their banks that you didn't give them what you promised. We need someone to disrupt this monopoly that these banks have where most disputes are won by consumers and not business owners. We had a guy use our SAAS for 6+ months and then charged back everything because he claimed it was "defective product" as per Stripe and we lost that dispute. Funny he raised tons of support tickets in the meantime but right at 6 months decided to take it all back (He knew what he was doing because I believe you can go back upto 6 months usually for chargebacks). Coming back to you, you absolutely were scammed. Question is: Does Ebay care ? My guess: Not.

EBay is also a monopoly, and so is Paypal.

No comment on the rest of the ecosystem, but eBay and PayPal are just as easy to scam from either side of the equation. The problem is less that they're biased toward consumers and more that they're willing and able to award damages with scant evidence.

I would be surprised if he actually sent his messages to his bank as evidence; as idk, I would think his behavior would be incriminating, and my responses would cast a positive light on me, but what do I know. It's frustrating to think that the bank would have seen those and sided with him still; and it's also frustrating to think that he alternatively didn't send the bank any evidence or messages at all and they still sided with him. These CC disputes are obviously so fallible.
