So I sold my used S14 ganadors in good shape to user Tafi (TR). Original for sale post is here http://zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=574822
Before receiving the mirrors he decides he doesn't want them anymore and starts posting that he has some for sale because he found "new" ganadors on ebay for about $60 more. Once he receives the mirrors he immediately opens a paypal dispute (without contacting me about it first) and says he wants a full refund. I PM him and ask about what is wrong with the mirrors and he replies that the the left mirror is cracked and loose. He later sends pictures to my email showing this...

This is such a small nick in the mirror even my OCDness missed it (or it happened during shipping... although I did pack them very well).

He then shows a video of himself forcing the left mirror into each corner of the housing to try to show how its loose. Anyone who has ever had ganadors knows these mirrors can be loose... but when I shipped them they were not bad at all and would have held up perfectly fine.

So he then goes on to tell me that he paid close to $500 for "new" ganadors from ebay and that I ripped him off. I tell him that's fine that he would rather have new mirrors and to ship them back to me for a full refund.

Then this guy has the audacity to tell me I'm not an honest seller and that he's not going to ship them back until he receives his full refund.

I've been buying and selling parts online for over 12 years now and have never once had an instance where the buyer receives a refund before the seller has the disputed item in hand. We're basically at a stall by this point.
This will likely get escalated to a claim and because it's international I have no idea what's going to happen. All I can say is I will not be doing business with him in the future.
