Pics added - Used watch arrived with multiple flaws - who pays return shipping?

[Chronopolitano]

The watch is not very common so if I post pics it would be very easy to find the seller.

Must be one of the mods here. Or me.

Ha ha ha! That put a BIG smile on my face.

Wow what a douche. I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest he knew darn well what was wrong with the watch and was looking for a sucker.

At this point I'm pretty sure he did. The bum who sold it to me is user thehappycamper on WUS. Check out pics of this watch that has only "faint signs of wear." I can fit a credit card in the gap between the case and case back.

He knew full well that watch was F'd up, contact PayPal for a dispute...and trash his name.

thehappycamper is a POS

Just curious: How does that happen? Why would it NOT close right? Is the caseback warped?

WUS should give him the

In that case, they should cover the shipping.

I agree.

Update #3
Seller said he's not in a position to issue a refund and suggested I sell the watch and move on. I opened a Paypal claim.

That's terrible.

One time I had an issue. I sold a watch that to my eye looked just about perfect, but on closer inspection had a number of flaws. When it was brought up to me by the buyer, my first response was to offer a partial refund to bring the watch closer in line to what it would have been on the market should I have noticed those flaws. The buyer accepted that, I gave him his refund, we parted on good terms.
