Holy crap, do you live on my street.

I am a little surprised about the lack of due diligence done prior to refunding the money. If it was me I would have been on the phone with the post office trying to track down the package before I gave the refund. I apologize if you did do the proper research before refunding the money but it sounds like you just took the buyers word for it. With all of the widespread issues with ebay and online scammers in general I find it a little unusual that you just took the sellers word. I hate to sound harsh but I don't think, realistically, there is not much you can do, except learn from the situation so you can prevent it from happening again.

Bill,

Can you PM me the buyer's name? There was a person from a year or two ago who used a name related to "M.S." who got busted on here with a scam on a transaction I was involved in. If it's the same person by any chance, we can know for sure that it's a scam.
