But somehow you agreed with that.

You did absolutely nothing to prove his guilt...
So there's no need for him to clear his name whatsoever to you or anyone else.

And you're over-reacting. Seller acted more than reasonably, and we encourage outing of scammers on this board. Buyer's "clearing" his name offers less than a gleaming report of his own behavior. Not saying he's not telling the truth but he was at least lazy or non-attentive.

Circumstantial evidence is evidence nonetheless--used in courtrooms all the time. I personally do find it odd that someone would add a card to his set registry before having it in hand, but maybe that's just me. It does show a certain zeal and enthusiasm for his collection. Then he doesn't get the card-- that can happen to anyone but how often does it happen? Then he's requested to remove it and claims he didn't pay close attention to the request because he apparently assumed it was an offer to buy a different card--doesn't even check to see what card is in question. All of this basically happening around the same time and as he chooses not to contact the seller but instead takes action with Ebay. Finally, he gets his money back, and yet after all this activity, he simply forgets to remove the card from the registry. Completely plausible, but far from blameless.

As for me, whether or not you think he has “cleared his name”, I would want nothing to do with this guy in a transaction.
