Your buyer doesn't seem unreasonable and you handled this transaction poorly. You got some good advice on this thread from others, I hope you take it into consideration for the future. Also, you're going to have alot of trouble if you ship internationally and refuse to refund shipping for incomplete orders. You might skate by when shipping is a few dollars but otherwise this is going to keep happening to you. Lastly, most buyers don't read the TOS. In Help, Shintaku writes:    Hello, I'm here since 2007, it makes 17 happy years on bricklink for me and it's a site I use daily. I want to say that I also wrote several LEGO books and dedicated one to the late Dan Jezek, who in my opinion built this site with an ethical view in his mind. But there's one thing I always have problems, because now I would really like to leave a negative feedback and I feel my hands are tied. This user, you can look within his feedbacks, is at his second attempt to get money from sellers for factitious reasons. He was passive-aggressive and tried to extort me money. When I refused only because I know PayPal's TOS, this user tried to trick me into giving him back all the shipping costs. The last message he wrote me, as you can see, is something that should NOT be tolerable on this platform. Though what he says, I have never ever insulted a bricklink user in my life, I have never told a single lie, and being insulted this way is something that should never be accepted here. I believe bricklink should have a "report" button when an user says such infamous things to another user. Here we trade bricks, things that should carry happyness and joy. I just sell stuff to buy more LEGO for myself, I am not a professional, still I try to act in the most professional way I can. But users like this and the fact they can pasture here on bricklink because if I leave him a negative he will retaliate and this is more a damage for me than for him... it's something that saddens me. I suggest you to block this user as I did, and forgive me for my rant, I hope this reaches to the mod team and they can start thinking something about this. Like, for example, I would be very happy if they prevented such user to leave me a feedback, so that I can leave a negative with no second thoughts. Thanks
