One of the reasons why I simply won't use ebay for high value items, or for things that aren't cash on collection.
I guess the only thing you could have done is gathered evidence of the item before you sent it (i.e., serial number, photo's of any specific marks etc.). You could then try to use this in your defence.
Unfortunately, I haven't had to do anything like this on ebay yet. From what I've read, they pretty much side with the buyer.
Do you have anything to prove the identity of the item is different?
I have heard quite a few examples now of gits sending a different item back.

Looks like someone else went through this a few years ago (haven't read the full thread though):

Looks like the scammer scammed themself - seller won that case. http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=117...
To the OP, what method was used to send the item back to you? And have you informed the buyer that you've received the item?
