Reading this thread from the beginning and walking through all the previous posts from the seller, my gut feeling is that you've been scammed.
Unless the seller decides you can actually reach out and touch him via legal action, you will most likely not see any of your money back. Honestly, it might end up costing you more than the money you've lost to try and recover it.
You should get all your correspondence together and post a thread on the BOI about this situation.
