"said will accept my offer out Sid eBay by bank transfer to save fees." 

 

that's actually defrauding eBay of their fees and you willingly cooperated.

 

the seller showed themselves to be dishonest, so what did you expect?

 

 

It may not be what you want to hear, but you've only got yourself to blame for this mess.  If you had paid via PayPal then if the seller had failed to send you the phone you would have had the option of opening an eBay Item Not Received case in order to get your money back, escalating the case to eBay if necessary in order to force a refund.  In the event that the eBay case had gone against you you would still have had the option of opening an Item Not Received case via PayPal.  So long as you had escalated the PayPal case after two days but before the twenty day cut-off point you would have been able to get a 100% refund of the money that you paid to the seller.  Having handled things the way that you did you set yourself up for this problem and made it easy for the seller to screw you out of your hard-earned cash.  Neither eBay nor PayPal will want to help you now in relation to this transaction, so you can kiss the money goodbye.
