As a seasoned ebayer, I have had several deals that were slightly shady (like "untested", meaning it was tested and smoke came out) but only one that was truly fraud. I nailed the guy from every possible direction. Fraud.org, USPS mail fraud, police, etc. They finally refunded after about 4 mo.
Leaves an aweful taste in your mouth but they finally made good. I'd consider the guy's rating. Also consider that these scopes can be a PAIN to ship, meaning custom boxes, packing material, etc. It may well be that it was more than he imagined. Or it may take time to source a box.
If he's responsive and empathetic to your stress, then that's a good sign. If not, go on the offensive in as many ways possible.
