To think I've been scammed

I had a spare ticket to an event that I decided to sell, couldn't sell it through Facebook groups so eventually I settled on sending an email around my company and found a buyer through there.

The ticket arrived yesterday and I sent a screenshot to the buyer (without the QR code and sent across my bank details for payment. She said she would pay me today - today arrives and she hasn't paid me but she sends me a screenshot of my bank details on her bank payment page and says she's about to pay. She's on the phone to me as I send the ticket and then she hangs up. She's ignored all my messages since then.

I sold the ticket for £200. So a pretty significant chunk of money but not enough for the police to bother. I'm going to have to just suck it up and accept that I've been scammed, aren't I?

I'd report the ticket as stolen if you can so she can't use it.
