I sold a graded card on eBay to the user Peacejuice. The card had multiple close up photos front and back and the case was perfect. Based on previous threads here, I packaged it in bubble wrap and then a cardboard box so it couldn't be damaged in transit. The buyer Peacejuice contacted me to say that there was a crack in the case and wanted a $6 refund on a $68 card so that he could send it back to Beckett to be reslabbed. I thought that the story was a little weird and checked his feedback. It has 41 feedbacks left for others since 2/15/14 and 2 of them are negatives. Both sellers responded that he tried to get money from them and that is why he left the negatives. He also mentions small problems that were resolved with at least 3 other sellers feedbacks. Sounds to me like he is playing the feedback extortion game. I blocked him and refunded the $6 because it would be too much problems to do anything else. Just wanted to let you all know.

I may be in the minority here because giving this scammer the $6 just reinforces them that their scam is working perfectly. This partial refund scam just keeps getting more and more common because it works most of the time.
