The matching white scuff mark on the hat says it all.

Don't give 50%, that's crazy. In most jurisdictions you can file a small claims case on your own and it costs very little. Would do this before eating 50%, I'm stubborn, but personally I would never let someone do that- you may end up eating the costs either way, which sucks, but it helps all of us if people like that have legal issues. At a minimum, maybe it makes them move on to a new racket.

It absolutely sucks, sorry to hear this happened to you. Be patient, you might see it again.
It was about 15 years ago, I sold a T206 Cobb Red to some guy in Canada. The crook said he never received it even though I had USPS insured tracking on it. I contacted eBay, at that time, they said they can’t track packages going to Canada. I let it go, I proceeded to check this guys eBay twice a week. A little over a year went by and there it was, the crook posted my card for sale. I contacted eBay, I was refunded. Good Luck

Such a great hobby and still so many crooks. These stories make me sad

Ebay really needs to step up its game around these issues! I thankfully have not had any really costly scenarios yet, but have heard about way too many of them. Really curious why Ebay has chosen to be so one sided against honest sellers with a reasonable set of facts substantiating their position on this.

Hey, Lou. An eye for an eye

I am way more upset at ebay than I am at the seller. I can block the seller. I can bash the seller. I can't protect everyone else from him though. That is Ebays job which they refuse to do. I already refunded the $25 before I realized that the reduced refund was ebays way of compensating me for getting stung. Unreal. I didn't even think about the metrics when I was on the phone with them but it likely still counts as a negative against me.

Wow . . . eBay really had your back at that time. It seems as though the eBay seller keeps getting less and less of that kind of coverage as time goes by.
