Hi guys -
A few weeks a go, I bought a UFC Unleashed Chuck Liddell figure off a guy on eBay - who is also a member of these forums. I'd already bought the exclusive Kimbo Slice and Silver/Platinum Chuck Liddell figures off different sellers on eBay and shipping (to the UK) was $18 and $20.
He contacted me saying it would cost $49.35(!) to send the figure, so I asked him to check and said usually it's about $20. He got back to me saying the cheapest he could send it was for $35.74. I still thought this was expensive, but took the guy at his word as he seemed honest. He also asked that when I pay, to mark the payment as a gift so he wouldn't have to pay the PayPal fee (which I had to pay instead).
Anyway - when the figure came, I noticed the postage paid/sticker was only $14.20... a bit of a difference from the $35.74 charged! I contacted him, thanking him for the figure, but told him about the difference in the postage and could he possibly refund me the difference (it is against eBay's policy to profit from the postage). I didn't hear back. I left it a week, then contacted him again, saying he seemed like an decent guy and politely asking for a refund of the difference. Again, I've heard nothing.
So what should I do? Am I being unreasonable? Or should I open a case with eBay/PayPal?
Thanks.

ed if you try to go through paypal. You committed fraud, basically. The gift function is only to be used for just that. Thats why you cannot open a case.
