The seller should be prosecuted. Merely being made to refund is not much of a consequence to fear. They aren't losing anything even if the item doesn't get returned. If the item is returned though, doesn't the buyer have to pay and therefore be out of pocket and lost time for his troubles?
This is fraud and the seller (criminal) seemingly has carte Blanche to fish for another sucker who won't pursue redress.
