Cheated on eBay classifieds, what now?

4 days ago I bought a used Nintendo Switch for 200 euro through eBay classifieds. I asked the seller for a picture with his eBay name on a piece of paper next to the switch. I even received these pictures. The price was understandable for me and I had the confirmation that the offer is genuine. Money was transferred (Paypal family and friends) and everything was in a dry towel. One day later, I received a warning from eBay classifieds that the profile I bought the switch was restricted.
Now I'm sitting here wondering what I can do…

Wait, if the switch still arrives, if not, report to the police. For the future: If you are unsure, always have a picture of the ID sent and NEVER use Paypal for family and friends. Prefer to pay for the costs of paying for items or services yourself. To clarify the extent to which civil claims exist, it is best to deal with a lawyer.

Report to the police

And against whom?

You can register with the classified ads with Mr. Santa Claus -Nordpolstraße 11, Engelshausen, identity cards can be changed with Photoshop and Paypalkonten can open with false data.

I do not see any chances there

Thank you very much!

Normally, however, a paypal account is tied to a real bank account. Of course, there are also ways and means, but payouts are clearly traceable. So the key will be less the ebay classifieds account, but rather the paypal account.

Nothing.

After all, you deliberately ignored the warning.

200 euro are very very little for a switch.

Pick up next time or pay by service.

Maybe the switch is still on. Do you have the address of the provider?
