A seller on eBay is trying to con buyers into buying what they say is a rare brillent proof £2 coin with a picture showing an uncirculated coin, then when it arrives it's a rough looking circulated £2 coin. luckily I was able to get them to return payment. Now they are harrasing me to send back the £2 coin which will cost me more to send, I was willing to pay them back by PayPal but they won't give PayPal details. Now they just keep pestering me even though I told them it's illegal what they are doing, what can I do.

This is the sort of thing ebay's money back guarantee was created for.

If you had opened an ebay not as described case then the seller would have had to provide you with a postage label to return the item and then refund you.

I read that about a return label when I opened it it just said seller
refunded payment. It's not the first time this seller has tried to
purposely falsify a coin showing pictures of perfect proof coins then send
a used coin, surly eBay should do something about it as it's blatant and
dishonest. They keep sending messages to return the £2 coin, I now think
it's getting to the stage they are getting really annoying by asking me to
pay to post this circulated coin back as they realise it evidence rather
than letting me pay them by by PayPal.

tell them to send you the cost of the return postage through PayPal and you will then post it back.
