Ebay can be a crapshoot in general. I had a fairly expensive item arrive that the vendor stated was working. It was not.
As soon as I contacted the vendor he offered to deduct 50.00 from the purchase price. I told him the defective part was worth well over 200.00 so that was not going to work. That was in the period of initial buyer protection so he had to take it back at least.
At the time I really did not like his attitude and wondered if he might claim the unit that came back was not the one he sent. There are a lot of good people that use ebay to buy and sell. Unfortunatly there are also others.

Barry,
There is no requirement to do this, but I told the guy that I would not only return it but give him a bad evaluation, thereby increasing his fees FOREVER to Ebay (the gift that keeps on giving!) or he could do the honorable thing and pay, since he admitted he had never checked the unit over, even though he said he had in his description.
It can't hurt to try the "gift that keeps on giving " approach.
My suggestion is to tell him that not threaten him.
