Ebay Threats?? NAC...sorry

[ricematthews]

Ditto what Huw said about refunding the guy's money.  So long as the parts
are in the same condition as when you sent them to him, you should give the
guy a refund.  Not only is it the nice thing to do, but I'm sure a judge
would tell you to do the same thing.
I agree that your Ebay listing did have a bunch of photos, but you stated
that they are calipers from a Skyline.  If they weren't (which your message
implies) then you misrepresented what you were selling.  If that is the
case, then you should refund his shipping charges as well.  It even looks
like the buyer didn't throw you any bad feedback yet.

As an occasional ebay buyer, but never a seller, it seems to me that
unless you are dead certain about what you were selling, a refund (less
shipping) would be in order.  I do not mean to justify the buyer's
perceived "threat" to you by this.

I don't think you can call what he is saying a "threat."  He might
simply be planning on dropping by the local police station and filing a
complaint...

I agree.  This is not a very good place to work this out.  You should
write a clear, careful letter to ebay asking *them* what to do.
