Send a court notice to ebay. More than 18000 is not a small amount, this type of incidence will keep continuing if any seller doesn't take strong action against ebay. Don't leave your hard earned money so easily.
First of all try to communicate with ebay in all manner, by sending emails to , , if still problem doesn't resolve you should really take a hard action in this case.
Today its happening with you, tomorrow it will happen with us. This is only happening because we seller are always quite & doesn't take any legal action. If you have all evidence you can do that for sure.
