Plus, my wife does a lot of $20-$50 transactions for items that sell well on eBay, but not so quickly on other sites. She decided to just suck it up and call it a lesson learned. She’s already paid eBay back, so the only thing left is to get back the necklace.

We will try the letter from the lawyer and the police report. I wonder how many more people will get burned before eBay and PayPal put a stop to this. It may take a class action suit.
My guess is that the scammer, if forced, will eventually return a different, much cheaper necklace, but good luck.
