Sucks that you have had such a rough experience EP. I wanted to comment on a few things that from what I can see have gone un-answered/resolved.
For your original auction, and maybe this one if it falls through too, if you open a case and "Report an Unpaid Item", you can get your listing fees and final value fees back for the auctions. For the guy who is no longer registered, you will get credited instantly. For the guy who seems to be fraudelent but still has an account, you will have to wait 7 days after you open the case to get your fees back (gives buyer a chance to respond/act).
Gonaads is right, and I have learned this lesson rather hard myself recently. ONLY send to Buyers with a CONFIRMED address. It only takes a non-confirmed buyer roughly 30 seconds to confirm their account. All they need to do is place a Credit Card on file which matches all their info. Outside of that, only ship to areas where Seller Protection is in place. These countries include, USA, UK and Canada only. I don't ship anywhere else, and they have to be confirmed.
Outside of that, if the value is over $250 in whatever your local currency is, be sure to get signature confirmation.
Hope it helps, better luck with your future endeavors.
