Yep This happened to me and it is the new gig to scam people. I had a guy in Germany buy my WPC-95 WAV board. Same thing, went through someone here to purchase it, then sent it to a shipping company, then on to Germany. Then after about a week, he wants a refund. (I had non returnable in my EBay ad) He files a claim through EBay not as described. However, EBay made him ship it back to me and he had to pay the return shipping. The board worked flawlessly when I got it back so I wasn't out anything but I think he was hoping he could keep the board and get a refund. So it wasn't as bad your situation but it looks like these guys have figured out a way to do it through PP and get to keep the item and not pay for it. Sorry this happened to you man...
