Ebay contact details to report stolen goods

[brusellit]

Just spotted my stolen 16mm film that I made (& extremely precious to me) was sold on ebay 2 days ago.

I contacted the seller & explained they sold stolen goods, seller said they bought from a market in good faith as not stolen.

Seller said they were too busy to contact the buyer, I suggested seller gives me buyer contact details so I can inform buyer of situation. However Seller has not supplied details  gone quite.

Buyer is in Repubic of Ireland, goods were sold from London, Uk.

Reading some of threads here, is the best move to report crime to Police or to ebay?

As buyer is not in UK, would reporting to UK police still carrying weight in buyer having to return film to me?

Any advice truely welcome, I can't find relevant contact details or button to select for ebay to report this stolen item.

Many thanks,

B

You go back to the police with this new information.   They, if they have the resources,  can get the buyer's details from Ebay.  It's a breach of the GDPR for anyone else to do it.

Thanks papso22,
I wasn't aware asking for buyers contact details was breach of GDPR; thinking about it now, that makes sense.
Also what I've gleamed in my searches is that it appears ebay will only cooperate re stolen goods with police once a crime number assigned to case?
Many thanks,
