Fake items on eBay

I asked the eSeller about the genuinity of the item and he confirmed it and now when I won the bid he is saying to cancel purchase as the item seems to be doubtful/ fake. Since I am the winning bidder on the item either he should get item certified by BPA or give me another genuine copy of the same item. I agree on both. I now request eBay to resolve this issue with the eSeller. I can pay as he confirms what and how to do.
Under noted are the correspondences with the eSeller for this item in reply to my question whether the item is genuine or not:

It is real... It is I belive refered to as a dry print so it looks different. I guarantee it unconditionally. It has the correct watermark and a real cancel on it. I have been in this hobby over fifty years etc.

I am sorry, but this lot can not be shipped. It was pointed out that thie item was not correctly described!
It would be totally unfair for me to ship it to you as all the bidders did not have the correct info.
This stamp does have a crown watermark, but it is a single crown! Per the Scott which I used, it is said to have a crown watermark #30. Gibons states that it should have three crowns, and it has only one! Additional review indicates that it has watermark #36 which is listed by Scott as used on India stamps. I therfore am at a loss to know what this is. I will be submitting this for a cert. so that it may be properly identified for future sale.

Dear wbarr,

My dear friend,
If there is any problem in genuinity of the item than go ahead and get it certified by BPA before supplying to me I will wait till then and will pay you additional cost of certification. I asked you before bidding about genunity of the product and you confirmed me that item is 100% genuine. So now if you have doubts go ahead and get it certified by BPA and than ask me to pay I will pay total amount immidiately (Winning bid amount 100.99 GBP + BPA certification charges)
Don't worry.
