^^That seems like a horrible thing to do.^^ Why would you stoop to their level?

Seller probably sent G&S so they had the extra tax write off.

Tim did contact me about this bat. I just gave him my opinion on what the bat actually is/isn't. I also gave my opinion on the quality of a Mears Letter of Opinion. My opinion for those wondering is it is like Charmin but a little rougher and not worth as much.

Its not stooping. Its protection if the other trader did something dishonest by filing a claim saying they bought something that was never shipped. The OP stated he was worried about that happening, my suggestion gave him some protection against that.

What a creep. Sorry you are still having to deal with this Tim...

Regarding the part about the $850 refund going through PP Goods & Services, don't fret too much. Just be sure to document everything, and the IRS can't come after you for failing to report the "sale".

Two things - if you want to protect yourself by not sending the bat, send a box with the same weight of filler material...

Secondly and recommended if this was a FB transaction, call him out on the Scammers page where fellow hobbyists report fraud, scammers and bad business practices. This will out him and gently persuade him to possibly change his ways. Post up and saved communications with him and get some popcorn. Page is full of fun reads and many ugly scams...

How would turning Tim into a scammer help. At best wouldn't that be a complete waste of his money sending a FAKE box. Then the scammer could call Tim a scammer and be correct. I don't get all the weird advice the last couple days.
