I would guess even on RE, eBay has a buyer guarantee. I know you say you want to make some money but what's the point of losing $2,000 if you can't fix this? As someone else mentioned, the "middle man" is on the hook and doesn't seem legal anyway. If you want to see it through, good luck. Personally, I'd file a claim with eBay and get my $2k back with a lesson learned.
