Sounds as though you did not do the return using the correct procedure. Instead of getting the seller to pay for a proper return label, you have thrown more money away and are most unlikely to get any refund. Done using the ebay procedure, attempted delivery would have been adequate to get a refund.

You can't be scammed on Ebay if you properly use the tools that Ebay supply (see the list below). You should have opened a Return Request, and Ebay would have supplied you with a tracked postage label (at the seller's expense if the return reason was for NAD). When tracking proved delivery or attempted delivery (as in this case), you would have been fully refunded.

 

If you're still within 30 days of the delivery estimate on the order when you receive the item back, do then what you should have done in the first place. And follow Ebay's instructions to the letter. If you find you're out of time, and you're returning because the item was NAD, open a Not As Described case in PayPal (you have 180 days from purchase date).

 

Ebay provides all the help you need, and in various places too:

 

- The 30-day Money Back Guarantee (on every eligible listing, and in various other places across the site).

 

- The More Actions dropdown beside each transaction on your Purchase History page.

 

- The Resolution Centre (link at foot of any page).

 

- The Help pages with their integral search (links at top and foot of any page).

Did you use the ebay returns label? This money for the label comes out of their account so would cost them to start the returns process and it proves the seller agreed to accept the return.
