Have you pulled his details from eBay? As a buyer you are entitled to do this. You should get his full name, address and telephone number, unless he has registered false details.
Ebay offer some form of buyer's protection but without seeing the listing it is impossible to say if you are entitled to claim on it.
As you have his name and the area he lives at the very least, you could try a search of B4U and 192.com.
If I have the listing number I will be able to see if any other people have been scammed by this seller - if that is the case, you will have a much better chance with the police.

You have been scammed without a doubt - all the feedback is from other new ebay users (probably the seller in a different id), and all very low value goods.
That listing of yours cannot be found so I still don't know the details.
Get the seller's contact details here - you will receive an email:

I doubt they will be genuine but it is worth a shot.
As you have reported it to the police, hopefully with full bank details and so on, I hope they take it seriously and get the seller's details from the bank.
The seller did not close his account - there must be at least three months from the last transaction for an account to be closed by the user. He has been naru'd by eBay for non-payment of fees (doubtful as he hasn't been registered long enough) or because of some sort of fraudulent activity.
