Well after reading that im really hoping that the OP does get a brick in the post. But on previous form even if he gets a console he will only claim off paypal anyhow...

So why were you looking at Xbox ones that mainly do 720p?

Lol way to jump to conclusions there!
Matter of fact I refunded the buyer £500 and took a £200 loss, even though I didn't have too.
New to eBay at the time, and not knowing the formalities.
Dammit I want to know the ending!

Actually you owed the seller £700 or the same PC back, but you couldn't because you sold it. You couldn't claim it was damaged either as you had no proof and sold it. So actually the seller is £200 down due to your actions as by selling the PC, you accepted the £700 price tag.
According to the original thread.

Let's get it right now
Indeed, but if you want judge you should do with all the facts but of coarse that is no fun is it. (we need a villain!)
- Buyer buys PC for £700
- Turn up broken in pieces, buyer contacts seller
- Seller refuses to reply
- Buyer exasperated opens a dispute (first time doing so)
- Seller still doesn't respond leaving buyer with no answers and a broken PC
- Buyer still has a broken PC, no answer from seller or response from eBay and decides to sell PC and recoup some cash back and naively sells PC for spares and gets a little cash back (and not expecting anything else)
- eBay decide case in buyers favour and refund him is money (without request to return broken PC)
- Seller magically replies once he has lost the case (coincidence?)
- Buyer left in a horrible position
- Buyer and seller come to agreement both were in the wrong, and agree a sum
- Buyer refunds seller £500 without any reason to do so or pressure from eBay
- Seller is down £200 for his mistakes and for broken PC, buyer is down £200/£100 (cant remember) for his mistakes
- Everybody walks away with the fairest solution.
Heres another eBay topic from OP, but I guess it doesn't fit your narrative

It doesn't matter if it's your first dispute or your one hundredth dispute. You should know how the process works before you open one.
Did you think the dispute would just vanish into thin air?

Has it arrived yet ? Dying to know and what happens a few weeks later when M$ chase you through a debt collection agency
It's a used xbox one with controller and Kinect, not a brand new console only (without cables, controller / Kinect) so that is a unlikely scenario
And no nothing yet, seller has not updated invalid tracking.

Fair enough, hindsight and experience are a beautiful thing. Ultimately was worked out and paid for my mistakes.
eBay refunds often without asking for the item back, they also sometimes refund without taking the money from the other side. I've had this happen, and been told (explicitly by eBay to keep the item and that no one is losing out) and had the seller contact me demanding the item back.
eBay is just odd at times.

Why would Microsoft get involved at all?

The poster is assuming that this may be the scam posted about earlier in the thread, which involves a dodgy warranty claim through MS.

What about all the times it's been pointed out you're trading under and illegal address on ebay?

That's what you have assumed, and this poster did not and it was not even brought up by him
