You folks are going to love this. The buyer had the watched looked at again. Authentic. No return, no,refund. wow
Good thing for you. But if you've refunded, it's refunded. Has the buyer paid you again?

Unless you've transferred the money out originally, refunds take effect immediately and cannot be reversed.

Roach7 is right, PayPal will not be of much help. You refunded before receiving the merchandise back. The buyer has both your money and the watch. I had this problem a few years ago, I refunded the wrong person. PayPal wasn't going to help me, I pleaded with the person whom I refunded to and he resent the money. Luck me. In your case he decided to keep the watch. I hope you have an open case on this if not CALL eBay right away. They may want to see email correspondence between the both of you.
Good Luck

We discuss this in several threads. Paypal and Ebay are good for BUYER..........not SELLER, which their position become weaker and weaker.
I hope your buyer is an honest guy. I guess now many scammer learn how to be a con buyer.

The more I know about people, the more I want to move to a deserted island.
My will yo put my watch for sale in Ebay is close to 0% now. Probably I would only sell it to my friends locally and to this forum which the buyer at least has been vetted by other members.

You bring the wine, I'll bring Scrabble and Monopoly.

Are you going to make a little grass hut for us?

Never ever refund a buyer on ebay until you receive the item back and have checked its real. Also insist it's returned via insured delivery.

Almost without fail ebay side with buyers and the seller can be left without their item or money.

Hopefully the buyer is an honest idiot and pays for the watch now that he knows it's authentic. Lots of lessons here for the OP. Sure hope it's not an expensive one.
