Further news... the 'same' vaporware english horn was 'sold' for £2322 on Ebay May 15th. At the same time a vaporware saxophone was sold by the same seller for £3700. The buyer of this sax has since left negative feedback and Ebay have tried to wash their hands of the matter since he paid by money transfer. I contacted the buyer to let him know that I had reported both listings as fraudulent to Ebay without action being taken.
Last I heard he was considering taking legal action against Ebay but if anyone knows the identity of the english horn buyer please ask them to leave negative feedback so that the sax buyer can get in contact, and/or get in contact with the sax buyer directly via ebay.

Today I spotted likely fake bassoon and saxophone adverts from one seller. More worryingly the web pages are coded to hide the real item id so as to prevent the 'report item' link working correctly, and also to deny direct access to the seller's userid and feedback information. I spent some time reporting the fake adverts and then trying (chat and telephone) to get a meaningful response from Ebay on this new protection feature in scam listings, all to no avail so far. No surprise there...

Moral of the story - don't pay for items on Ebay by direct money transfer - unless to people you actually know or trust.
