"The card is a fake. Please send me a refund."
... is inferior to ...
"The card is a fake. Please send me a refund. If you don't send me a refund, I'll come down on you so hard you'll wish you were dead."
If the seller is a good seller, the first one will get the point across as well as the second. The guy's high feedback rating should convince you that the first is all that's necessary, rather than make you feel somehow more justified in sending the second.
And if you send the first, and he does tell you to pound sand, you'll know, and everyone who reads through the emails will know, that you are an innocent customer who kept his head, and the seller is the one who is whacked.
Trying not to go berserk is an eBay convention that's worth following.
