I would contact your attorney and talk to him to see if you have any
recourse. Of course, since you talked to them on the phone it may be a
case of "he said, she said" but the bank records might help. They have
also admitted culpability.
I doubt that the courts would do anything more than get your money back.

Then possibly a lawyer, as you may be due more than just your money back.
My 2 cents.

Last Wednesday I called a dealer in beautiful downtown Burbank
(for you old Laugh-in fans), IL. to ask some questions about a
Corvette Z06 they had for sale on ebay. After talking to them I
decided to go ahead with the deal. The sales guy says "we can
start it here". I asked if he was sure I shouldn't have hit "buy
it now". "No, we'll take care of that for you". Thursday, they
had approval from my bank. Friday I got their paperwork for
signature and closed the financing on Monday. Tuesday morning I
mailed the check to them. I was supposed to be picking it up
today. Supposed to be are the key words. They called me
Wednesday after they already had my money and told me that they
had sold the car out from under me, but they were trying to fix
the problem. Yesterday they called me and told me that they
couldn't fix it and I was screwed. They forgot to close the
aution and someone hit buy it now. They made a feeble effort to
offer me a different car. They blamed it on ebay, but it's just a
matter of not having the HUEVOS to call the other bidder and tell
him he can't have the car and explain the situation. They don't
want to hurt their positive feedback rating on ebay.
They were supposed to have my checks back to me by noon today. So
far, it hasn't happened.
I won't mention company names on the list because that's not a
good thing, but I will gladly tell anyone who wants to know off
list and would be willing to add comments to their facebook page
to do a little blackballing. Needless to say, I'm just a little
pi55ed - no, that's an understatement. By the way, Ebay was
absolutely no help in the matter.
