I think the buyer was being a bit of a dick and greedy too.
That being said it sounds like you got back a graded card so I think the grading should have been covered by the refund but I totally understand your principle point as well. As Leon said the feedback system is total BS and we all know that. The problem is that with the DSR not refunding a guy $10 could cost you a lot more with a neg and a lower DSR. I had a guy claim to not get his $10 worth of crap. He never asked me for a refund because he knew I had a DC number and he would have lost the case. 6 months later my DSR are still lower then they should be cause this ass gave me 2 negs. In the end it cost me more in the DSR discount then it would have if I would have just sent the $10 to him, but he was a total ass and made no attempt to try and track the package down on his end so I went with principle much like you did. The neutral won't hurt as much as the negs, just make sure he can't hit you on other cards as well. If in any email through ebay he said I will leave you a negative or neutral feedback if you don't refund me, then you should have a pretty good case with ebay, otherwise I think you will be SOL. In the end I think its a split, you got a bit of a benefit cause you got back a graded card but the buyer lost $11 because he was a dick. Serves him right and I don't think you were in the wrong with your decision. James G

Just to clear things up. The card sent back was not in a slab. It came back in a soft top loader with a label stating "Evidence of Trimming"

Based on this and the other information you provided I think you are in the right as long as you are accepting of the resulting feedback. You certainly shouldn't have to pay for feeback but that is how ebay has left it for sellers these days. James G

Enough!!!
It was a $30 card and the guy wanted it graded!? Give me a break! People waste more money getting cards graded than there worth to them.
 The only winners are the grading companies! Give the guy his money back and be done with it. One red mark won't be the end of your card dealing days. And that's that!

I have never asked or a refund for grading services nor returned a card which ended up coming back from the grader as "authentic." I had 3 very nice E94s I bought in the last year, 2 from a major auction house and one from the BST which came back from SGC as "authentic" (trimmed) and simply kept them because a) the color variations of these cards are so tough and b) they didn't appear trimmed to the naked eye.
The only sad thing was I traded away a PSA 2 E94 when I bought the EX looking one from the BST. Oh well, you live and learn.
