We met in person, he sent me the payment by card, i gave him my steam deck. Later that day the transaction was cancelled, the guy got the deck for free. Europe. Anything i can do? Can the police help?

i direct bank transferred for the sale of a 2080super
Barclays locked both our banks and froze the transaction, the guy pressured me that he had driven from Liverpool and couldn’t make the journey back later etc. let him leave with the card, contacted the bank and they said he had to and validate the purchase in person.
he had let me copy his driving license, and take pictures of his ID with address etc “just incase and to show he wasn’t dodgy because i could call the police on him with that etc”
thankfully, he went to Barclays the next day, validated the payment, i received the fund and both our bank accounts were unblocked.
but he could have lied and said no, gotten his money back, kept the card and caused me a whole heap of trouble.
i only take cash now.
It seems, from what another poster said, that some countries have a «no backsies» policy, and some, like the UK, don’t. I get why everyone argues for cash. That wouldn’t fly in my country, but I see how it would work in yours. What is, though, this «card» you mention?
the card was the 2080 super, i don’t know why i called it a card lol
