Hi Mike,
You need to be carefull what you post online. We now have the last four and first ten digits of your credit card, plus you address and signature. You should remove or alter these images ASAP.
While I'm sorry that you lost out, it's clearly stated that you must use signed for delivery. Don't ever use anything else for ebay transactions unless you can afford to write the whole thing off as a loss. 
On photo's, copying details from dealers websites is quite commom. If I  see a suspect listing a quick ebay "completed item" or google image search will often show up the source of the image. Here in the UK a few scammers used photos from the website of a dealer that I used to use the physical store of (M&B Radio Leeds) I could easilly spot them just form the background in the image.

Robert G8RPI.

  For proof, I have started a new web site and uploaded two  files for
  your perusal.

  Here is  a copy of the Canada Customs Decaration,  Canada  Post fee,
  and Interac receipt when I shipped the FE-5680 back to tool_nerd:

  I was wrong on the price for the FE-5680A. It was $84.99, not $89.

  Here is Paypal rejecting the VISA chargeback:

  So relying on your credit card company to help does not work.
