Hello,

today something very bad happened.

An user made me an order, paid, and I shipped it.
Out of 233 parts, he declared that 1 was incorrect and 5 missing.

I went on my shop to see if I could reship the missing/wrong items but to my
surprise, none of them were available.

I don't want problems, so for a few bucks, I refunded those parts.

Probably, this buyer saw me weak because he then became demanding.

- I'm not happy with the refund. Either you send me half the shipping price
as a compensation, or I will cancel the entire order and ship it back on your
behalf.

Once noted that PayPal states that though he's entitled to, it's on HIS
behalf it became.

- No it's on your behalf. If before I said that I was ok with half shipping
price, now it's full shipping price, or I will cancel the order and open
a claim as "not as described".

I remarked that the parts not as described were refunded, but he said that he
was not needing the order as a whole.

I then went on his feedback profile and see that he already tried this trick
before. A seller paid him to ship the order back, and he never did.

Can we do something in these cases, or are we totally powerless?

I'm not speaking about the PayPal claim, I know I will win it.

But is there a way to defend ourselves from this kind of users?

[...] Leave a note in feedback: Claims X parts missing, refund issued, buyer demanded half off shipping. BEWARE! I think this fits.
