Well this is exactly what I expected! I wasn't an arse about it, just sent a detailed message with pictures of the damage. And being a fiver expected him to just refund it as I have done in the past with a similar situation. I didn't expect to have to wait months and explain why I did want to lose 60% of the refund by returning an item that's no good to anyone!

Not always..
Here's a funny one.
I purchased two Meyle droplinks for my bmw, they didn't arrive, tracking number was invalid, no response from seller.
I open two eBay disputes, one per item. Seller doesn't respond.
Few days later I get an email for one saying we see the tracking number is invalid here's your £12 back
Next day I get an email for the other one, sorry we've closed the case in the sellers favour, the tracking shows the item was delivered (same fake tracking number for both items)
eBay won't let me appeal so I've got to ring them!
Good luck ringing ebay!
