The dash was a dead giveaway.

Lessons to be learnt here: Not ok to automatically keep something if a mistake has been made (ended up not being an issue in this case). Gloating about a win when it's to the detriment of someone else always looks bad. Always best to contact people calmly without using conflict provoking words. Pays to never jump to conclusions when rational explanations can be made. Making decisions based on greed then criticizing the outcome later makes you appear mercurial. When everyone is saying you are the problem, it's often true.

as the seller, I sold a couple of brand new Apple Magic Keyboards. Both were unopened, still in the box.
Parcels were delivered in perfect conditions, but we had two different results

the first customer was 100% satisfied, for the product, and for the service

the second customer opened a dispute, for 30 euro of goods, and for the only reason that he must have destroyed the keyboard!

I asked a couple of pics, the parcel was delivered intact, and the keyboard was brand new: how could be so damaged?

was it defective? it might happen! There is no need to insult, and to call people "dishonest".
anyway, I promptly replied with a money back proposal for the good, and he insulted me again because he wanted 100% money back, including the shipping cost.

and so I did, 100% money back, but then I included this user in my eBay shop's blacklist.

Buyers like this are why I rarely sell on eBay any longer. eBay is so low-margin these days, with high selling and shipping costs, that one situation like this could easily wipe out a month's worth of "profit" for me. That is not even factoring in the amount of time needed to create a listing and then go through the post-sale shipping/feedback sequence.

Fortunately, over the years, I've had pretty decent buyers (and I think most buyers are actually pretty decent) but all it takes is one jerk.

For example, I recently sold 175' of low-loss coax. The buyer insisted the roll did not contain 175 feet, demanded a refund for the amount he was "shorted" after "I measure it this weekend". I pointed out to him the manufacturer has index marks for every foot on the outer sheath. The starting index was 25 and the end was 200... so the last I knew, 25 from 200 was 175. He ended up leaving me positive feedback. I left him no feedback. I would have left neutral or negative feedback if I had the opportunity to do so, but eBay no longer allows sellers to rate buyers (another reason I rarely sell any longer.)

yup, I agree entirely. I am also shocked that a brand new Apple product, bought on the Apple Store (so it was not a counterfeit-fake) was found defective. Was it really? I have a doubt about. Anyway, the customer is always right, especially if he/she pays via Paypal.

I did like too, when sellers were able to release negative feedbacks, and it was useful to underline "bad customers" ( I want to be polite, but you can guess the exact word I am thinking about in my head )

I had a MX-H2-UF bit I did not like it. It's too small or my italian hands are too big for it.
Sold it for a MX-H1-UF, got some fine/small tips and never looked back.

 :=\ I will start this Weekend selling my old Stuff who got left over when our Shop closes down. I wrote a bunch of lines who say in general no Warranty for anything.
We have A LOT of Inkjet Cardrich who are ~10 Years out of Date so the might work or now. Its the Customer Choice of try it out. I will sell them as defect so the could not complain if its broken.  ^-^

All of which is meaningless. If a buyer files a dispute for item received not as described, you'll be forced to refund the money and pay for the return.
