Sorry anyone has to go through this.

We have all had our share of this but I hope the OP does not give up because there are two things I wont give up on.

Beating eb/pp and allowing a buyer to defeat me when I know I am right and they are trying to destroy my account.

So I clicked that, wrote out the situation and flat out said I will pursue this to my fullest extent of law if they continue to side with the fraudulent buyer, and they have disregarded all of the facts i have presented including the police report. I will be writing some emails to higher-ups if this keeps up.

But at least buyer will get hit up for more postage. :clap:

You would have to be EXTREMELY confident that it is a scam to refuse the package because it will cause a legit buyer to leave you horrible feedback. It might be a tool to employ as in a case like this - but it would be very rare.

Secondly, you always have to weigh the costs of getting a lawyer involved. A demand letter can cost $100-$300 so it would have to be an expensive item to be worth your time and retaining a lawyer.
