Facing item swap scam | Selling

Sold a trading card graded, the slab had damage on a corner. The buyer opened a return claiming he cracked the slab to take the card out and the card inside is counterfeit. Asking refund or replacement. I gave benefit of doubt at first but after a few photos and investigating, i know he did item swap and the counterfeit card he is showing is not the card that was into the slab shipped. I have proofs that the card inside the slab i sold was real, and his card has some things not matching. It was also authenticated by a reputated company. I already reported to ebay for fraud. I exposed to buyer that i found out things not fitting and it's been reported for fraud. But he do not back out. He keeps saying it's the same card and go as far as thanking me for 'exposing myself' to ebay for selling fake cards. Never seen that. It's a cheap card so i'm not hurt but i take those situation to improve my knowledge. It's a US buyer so accepting return to give him trouble is impossible. The buyer is a clear scam artist he know my only option is to refund. My wonder is: is it worth to ask ebay to step in or it is too risky and similar case cannot be won by seller?
