Ebay selling my missing amplifier


8 months ago I sent an amplifier to europe for upgrades. The amp went missing and there were investigations that went unresolved. I happened to be searching on ebay and noticed the amp and when I magnified it Bingo the serial number was same. It is an ebay seller store that is listing it. Ebay has not yet responded after several attempts. What next?

First, report it stolen to the police. Provide proof of purchase with the serial number and screenshots of the eBay auction. 
Message the seller -  inform him that he has listed a stolen item and you want it back. Give him whatever you have to prove it's yours. 

If the seller won't cooperate, eBay has a special service available only to law enforcement to recover stolen merchandise. The police detective handling your case has to follow up and there is a good chance you will recover your amplifier.

One more time:

eBay is not going to help you - directly. 

MAKE A POLICE REPORT WITH ALL THE DETAIS; DOCUMENTATION, SERIAL NUMBER, PHOTOS, SCREEN SHOT OF YOU EBAY AD.

Then have then contact eBay and follow through through:

This is the only hope you have of recovering your amp or being reimbursed for its value.
