Two days ago I put my ps4 on ebay classifieds in exchange for an Xbox One, I already have someone who would be willing to swap but I need some proof that he is sending his Xbox too, but I also received pictures from the Xbox But they could also be from Google or something so I would like to ask for tips
I would only swap something 1: 1 on site with the possibility to test the thing.
everything else is hara-kiri!
Drive there, inspect, swap, drive back.
And nothing else.
Follow the safety instructions:

The classified ads work perfectly if you use them as intended: pick up the goods from the seller on site, inspect the goods and pay with cash.
In your case: you tuck your console under your arm, visit your swap partner, you both test the devices, shake hands and swap one on one.
You send him the console as a package and take a picture of it. If in doubt, you can also prove where your console is. Now he's sending his off too. If he doesn't do that, you go to the police and tell them you can get your console back.
Of course.
Meet in person, test and swap the device.
Everything else is far too unsafe with articles like this. You could only do that with values of a few euro.
I've already done it myself? I sent my console and the other one didn't, but I was able to prove that it was my console and then I told the police, then they went and took the console out of his house and I got it back.
Oh really? Then excuse me. You were lucky!
That has nothing to do with happiness. You enter into a contract with the other. If he does not fulfill his part of the agreement, it is fraud and, moreover, he practically stole the console and that is also a criminal offense.
And the police are not responsible for performance claims arising from contracts that have not been complied with. That is civil law.
This is a theft, the police are responsible for that.
