You can offer to take him to small claims court for the item. That
option has worked well for me in the past.
Once you let them know the option of a court case is real they are more
than willing to deal with the contract.
IT's quite clear in the ebay auction terms.

matches his expectations).

And there's the key to the situation. The seller thought they were going to

Which is likely a good part of why they aren't being reasonable in the

It is always hard to know the real story. It *is* possible the seller

As an Ebay veteran, I can say I have heard ALL the excuses. This does
