It's easier to chase fraud cases that were funded via a credit card but it is by no means impossible to retrieve it from a debit card case as well - I think the timeframes involved are a lot tighter though and it needs to be within 30 days of the transaction. I could be wrong but it's worth looking into.
You could even chase it through Paypal as they offer 180 day cover. You don't even have to mention that it was an eBay auction. Technically, the auction had ended and you offered to buy the goods privately. You weren't breaching any eBay rules. If you'd asked him to end the auction early and buy it at a reduced price to cut eBay out of the sale, you would be in a tricky situation but you didn't. What you did was a legitimate transaction so it might be worth speaking with Paypal over their clawback procedures in the case of fraud.

Paypal already washed their hands of this once they realized I sent it as money and didn't buy it as Goods and Services. They said to talk to my bank so I'm going to file it as fraud tonight.
RD, I received a lot of PM's and I pulled the trigger after I was more certain. The board and breaking things up for interested parties would have come afterwards, I was fronting the cost to take it off the market and then deal with the rest when I received it.
