Unbeknownst to the seller, she was selling my stolen jewelry. Is there a way to message any buyers of the above-referenced jewelry in the last 4 weeks, since May 17th approximately and ask to buy my jewelry back from people who bought it here?

No there is no way to contact the buyers. Ebay keeps that information confidential, they won't tell you who the buyers are. Law Enforcement would have to contact ebay and subpeona that information.

Ebay has a protocol for stolen goods and a dedicated Law Enforcement Center to handle reports of stolen goods. But that center will only deal with law enforcement agencies. So you need to have your local police contact them to see if they can recover your stolen goods.

Is the seller willing to give the addresses of her buyers to the police?
With two exceptions (Quebec and Louisiana) it is my understanding that stolen goods belong to the victim of the crime and not to the person who (knowingly or not) bought them from the fence.

A Search Warrant would compel the seller to turn over the information. The information would either be on his/her desktop, laptop or mobile device and would be on his/her PP account - failure to do so would be Contempt of a Court Order and jail time until they comply.

Frankly, if you believe a particular seller is selling you stolen jewelry you best course of action is to inform law enforcement of your suspicions and let them proceed with their investigations.
