So, to sum up.
I bought two micro-drives and paid 35 USD for a soft-bag that cost 15 USD
I received two damaged units
I immediately contacted the seller, but he offered nothing but bully insults rather than finding a solution
I opened a dispute on eBay com, telling them "damaged item", they closed it (because "no return")
I opened an appeal on eBay com, telling them "item not as describe", they closed it
I opened a dispute on Paypal, telling exactly the same, and they accepted the return
I prepared a parcel, and it's already on its way back to the seller
The seller yesterday wrote this:
Hey listen you *******************. I know where you live *******, I still have your address and phone number ****************************************************************. You ******* opened a phony claim against me that the items were damaged as a result of poor packaging and eBay already ruled in my favor and closed the case. Now you ******* are going against eBay's ruling and going behind their back playing games with Paypal. I'm warning you *******, don't mess with me you *******! you ******* need to cease and desist! cease and desist!
eBay already ruled in his favor and closed the case. I reported this seller two times for bad and bully communication and eBay did nothing!
And here is why eBay com sucks: if something similar had happened in Europe, the seller would have been thrown out instantly, or at least received a recall! It is not tolerable to insult or threaten!
But this dude is American, so, it has "privileges", and it's the second time I see something similar, so I deduce it must be "OK" for them if an European receive again a bully message from the seller where now I am supposed to be "the crook of the game", while it's clear from his bully message that is trying to persuade me to close the dispute on Paypal to keep the money while the return parcel is still on traveling.
"
you need to cease and desist!", what will he do? Will he send a commando of armed mercenaries like Rambo? And will my guts furnish the living room?
Guys, I loved you, so I make will: in case of death, I leave all my electronic cards and my books to EEvblog's members

going against eBay's ruling and going behind their back playing games with Paypal
That was not even correct. If you open a dispute on eBay you cannot open a dispute on Paypal, but that means that if you do so, eBay will immediately close the dispute on their side. It's not "illegal" or "against" a rule. It's up to you to call Paypal if eBay is unable to solve anything. It's one of your possibility.

Seriously speaking, I have enough, and for 50 USD I don't even want to be here getting mad.
