It sounds as though both you and your seller have gone about this the wrong way.

 

There are different procedures for change of mind returns and not as described returns, but both should be dealt with through eBay's resolution centre. EBay then checks that the item has been returned, and processes the buyer's refund and the seller's return of selling fees.

 

If you have bypassed these procedures to arrange a private refund you may as well give the seller your PayPal email address to receive it. As you've been in a transaction with them they could have obtained this anyway.
