You bring up an interesting/valid point. While it seems that the OP is being honest/truthful about this matter, the fact is that buyer scams are just as plausible/possible as seller scams.
Not saying that's the case here at all, but it certainly wouldn't be the first time the old "I got an empty box!" scam was run.
Again, so far it sounds like the OP is being truthful, but just goes to show how "messy" these situations can become.
The mantra around here is always "buy the seller" but I think there should also be some weight given to "sell the buyer" as well.
This is especially pertinent if/when accepting forms of payment other than a bank wire. Just my $0.02...
