I bought an item from an overseas ebay seller in July of this year. The item didn't show for a few months, and he wasn't willing to issue a refund, so I disputed the sale and won. Refund was granted, but the seller wasn't happy with the outcome.
So now, 6 months later, the item shows up, and the postmarks indicate that it had been sent when he claimed, but didn't leave his country until last week. In other words, completely out of his control.
In normal circumstances, I would probably shoot him a note and a payment for the item, and we'd be done. However, the item is a different size than claimed in the original sale, and therefore useless to me.
What's the right thing to do here? Send the item back? Send a note that says "I would refund your refund, except the item is different from claimed, so I'm going to keep your refund on that basis?"
