I approached him in good faith about straightening it out, but he's being really hostile and refusing to refund <i>any</i> shipping (for SNAD, original shipping should be refunded, and uncooperative sellers get dinged for return shipping as well). I don't <i>think</i> filing a case would get me suspended, but if it did, that would be a pretty costly refund. Without BP as a backstop, much of my eBay buying just wouldn't be worth the risk.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
