Do I have to pay postage twice for these items? Its international so expensive to the point of not worth it for the available refund. So ... eventually I get to the point ... is this a scam ... seller sends a load of crap through knowing that the buyer is likely to cut their losses and have to keep it rather than send it back and have to pay all the postage?Or, am I misunderstanding how this will work and will paypal somehow reinburse my extra postage costs?Has anyone had this happen to them? I'm thinking that I just chalk it up to experience and let it go ... the tiny silver lining being the well justified neg.

Technically he can claim through paypal, but you have proof of threats /blackmail which they may or may not take on board - frankly its a coin-toss. As for him removing his neg - it's never going to happen and ebay are not going to remove it either- purely because nothing has been posted publically. I had similar (and worse) from this piece of shit but the neg stayed - sorry but ebays rules are clear. Block him and move on I'm afraid - He's another internet fantasist with no morals who, one day, will get his comeuppance - it's a small world after all and one day someone is going to knock on his door and knock his teeth out - harsh, but IMO fair.Sorry for the rant, but reasonable behaviour goes out of the window sometimes, and there really is no apologising for this twat.Carl
