i have had this happen more than once over the years with car parts. buyers sit on it just long enough not to let the window lapse and then file a chargeback with their CC company and a few days later negative balance in paypal. they have 180 days to do so unfortunately with the dumb rules these companies set forth in order to gain users.
call the local sheriff and have the merchandise reported stolen with the address it was sent to, and have your attorney send out a letter stating that if the item or funds are not returned within 7 calendar days youll file a suit. 9 out of 10 times, the people trying to get free stuff are not smart enough to push their luck any further and return the merchandise. and make sure to file a complaint with ebay in order to get your 10% in fees back, as well as mark their buyer profile with a scoff (they will do this if you push it and threaten a bit).

i had one kid dumb enough after a nicely worded letter from my attorney return the set of wheels he attempted for free by chargeback, while I simultaneously had paypal fight the chargeback and ended up winning that too.. kid learned a hard lesson that day having to pay over 3k$ for the property he no longer had possession of and in the end had to then drive almost 1000miles to come retrieve his "property" in person..
