Alright guys here's my story. Only been scammed for $200 but still, stuff like this gets on my nerve.
Bought two pairs of Bose On-Ear headphones from a guy (from Campbellton, NB) on eBay and just received them today. This guy appears to have sold quite a few of these headphones already and his other listing could possibly be fraudulent as well. His eBay username is "keysbt". I happened to find his Kijiji ad here:

After filing a PayPal dispute, I called him up from my Google number and pretended like I was interested, trying to see if we could meet up (mostly trying to find his real address since the address he used to ship these is probably fake). The guy was refusing to meet up at his house and started getting very suspicious and rude...pretty much threatening. Then I reveal to him that I was the guy who bought these headphones from him previously and would like my money back...which probably wasnt the best idea cause now he was all over the place. Nevertheless, all I am doing is asking for my money back. I'm most likely going to be able to get it back from PayPal or by filing a credit card dispute. But still, this guy is a total jerk and wants to do things the hard way by spewing crap about how now IM the one threatening him and that "this phone call is being recorded", plus other bullshit bluffs. Pretty much trying to make me jump through as many PayPal loops as I can. This guy clearly does not appear to be dumb and probably knows the system well.
Also, he is scamming countless number of other people with his fake products. I am in the process of contacting EVERYONE he sold his fake Bose headphones to on eBay, but unfortunately eBay limits you 5 messages per day. There are roughly 10-20 other people who bought this from him (look at his seller feedback) who I would contact if it wasnt for this 5 msg/day limitation.
15 mins after calling him and telling him what I know about him, he finally agrees to let me have a refund if I ship these back to him. Personally, I dont want to have to pay for this douchebag's mistake so does anyone have suggestions on what I can do now? This guy is just going to continue to scam people and there's gonna be a few Little Johnnys out there who are going to wake up with fake Bose headphones for Christmas. What would Beyond do?
