If the buyer refuses to return the item because he doesn't want to pay return shipping, and he fails to return the item in the amount of time PayPal gives him for his case, the case will be dropped-- but stick close to the date in which this can happen as you can call PayPal again after that time expires to have them drop/close the case against you. Note that any funds you have tied up in this item will remain on hold during this lengthy period of time. You may even be unable to use your account depending on their handling of the case. Regardless, the buyer is likely to use negative feedback in the end against you (which you cannot do in return to them and warn other sellers) and eBay will NOT remove negative feedback against you, even if you win the case, once it's there -- it's there. No matter how correct you are about this transaction you will likely get burned by feedback.
