To be seething that someone is trying to cheat me an expensive item on eBay?!

Sold a BNWT expensive designer blouse on eBay which has gone through the global shipping programme. The buyer messaged me with a picture to say that there's a hole on the sleeve. There is no hole in the one I sent!! The picture the buyer sent me is a zoomed in view but it looks like a terrible quality replica.

I made the terrible mistake of just uploading stock photos and can't believe I didn't take pics of the actual blouse. Does this mean I'm now doomed and will lose hundreds of pounds to this scammer, who will end up getting the genuine item for free? I know eBay almost always sides with the buyer so not feeling hopeful here. Also the buyer has over 2k ratings on eBay and is clearly business seller. Any tips at all on how I could protect myself? Feel so sick about this whole ordeal.Sad

99% of positive feedback of the buyer are showing as given by "unregistered" users

Sounds like they may have bought a fake "feedback package" - apparently it's easy enough to do

Also sounds like potential good news for you, unless as I said they're big commission earners for ebay
Have they been on there long, do you know?
