Fake item bought on ebay - ebay won't refund as too much time has lapsed - any advice?

[rhu96]

Hi all,

I bought a microphone from someone on ebay a couple of years ago, unfortunately it turns out to have been a counterfeit (didn't use it/test it at the time due to moving house and all sorts of upheavel).

Only just found out and ebay are saying they won't push through any refund as it's been so long. 

I looked at the feedback of the seller and since my purchase they have had multiple negative feedbacks for selling fake microphones.

Got an engineer to certify that it's a fake too.

Ebay said to forget trying to get a refund through them and contact the police if I want.

Anyone got any advice on anything I can do or do I need to just accept this one?

Hate being ripped off!
