I am usually very careful before "taking sides". And even more before
"shaming" a person (buyer or seller) or store.

It's obvious sending the wrong part must be corrected by the seller. That's
without a doubt.

But we don't know the full story. Elements that are open to be able to fully
assess the situation (which is not up to us, to be honest) could be:
- OP mentions 3 options offered by the seller. Which are they? Maybe they are
actually quite reasonable.
- OP mentions "arrogant manner". This could be, but it's a subjective
interpretation. It doesn't make it so per definition. Maybe the seller doesn't
speak English as primary language. I don't either. This can result in some
unintended interpretation / lost in translation issues.
- Was the order only that minifig, or is the minifig part of a bigger order?
If so, what is the minifig's value in % to the total order?
I don't want the answer to these questions, as it's basically something
between buyer and seller to hopefully come to an agreement. But I'm just
saying there are usually multiple angles to look at a certain situation.

Personally, if I was the seller in such case, I would refund the part and shipping
costs (+ import taxes, if they can be proven that they were paid). I did refunds
with loss (for me) in the past, because I judged it was my fault and the buyer
should be compensated without any loss. Any wrongfully sent item, they could
keep. Loss for me. "Make mistakes, get better." lesson for me as well!

But as a seller, I can not get into the demand of a buyer saying "it's
my obligation to get him/her the part that was ordered without any other option".
That would involve me basically going into dropshipping. Or a whole fuzz with
me ordering, receiving, reviewing, repackaging, reshipping, ... I think that
goes beyond a reasonable scope for a seller.
Do take note I have gone through this trouble as a seller, but that was in the
situation a used set (sold as complete) missed a part or two. I could've
chosen to refund in full, or to make sure the set got completed at the buyer.
I did the latter, because a refund in full was far more expensive as me completing
the set.

Hi there. What UTLF said in his response was 100% correct!!! File a Claim with Paypal and if you can't because the seller made you pay with Friends & Family service, then [...]

The three options were to return everything for a full refund and I have to prove that I paid taxes, or to return just the wrong minifigure, or to accept 10 US dollars as compensation. [...]
