Another DEADBEAT seller be warned

This thing has been blown way out of proportion. Need to get a response out.

I did two things wrong here- took me a week to send parts when I committed to getting them out the next day. I work 6 days a week and have trouble sneaking away from work to get things taken care of. Not anyone's issue but my own. I am also dealing with my dad's estate so between lawyers and funeral arrangements things have been super crazy for me. Again, not the buyers problem. Second mistake I made was not wrapping the parts up better with foam of some kind to protect the edges of the metal. I own that, will correct in future dealings.

As soon as the parts showed up to him he sends me a message saying things were messed up and he didnt get everything he paid for. I was obvious something had happened during shipment, as the box had additional tape on it that I did not install. We talked on the phone, and I filed an appeal with USPS the next day online. USPS wanted to only cover part of the cost (50), so I had to send USPS a written appeal via mail (not email). That process is taking forever. The buyer decides he doesn't want to wait for this process to work itself out. I initially told him it's not my fault that USPS can not deliver a package in one piece, and told him I wouldn't cover the costs. We argued, he called me every name under the sun. I was polite and told him I was sorry for the way it worked but to be patient and wait for the appeal process. The next day after sleeping on it I decided it would be right to just give him his whole refund, and whatever USPS gives me back will have to be enough, and id just take this as a lesson learned. I paypaled him on 4/17. Paypal says the money has gone through so I figure this is a done deal, I just need to wait on USPS. Then Saturday night (4/21) he sends me a paypal request for more money. Im like WTF is going on here. The money was sent 4 days prior to this. We had words, it wasn't pretty, and I essentially told him to F off, I had refunded his entire amount. Then he jumped on here to bad mouth me.

Lesson learned. I made a couple mistakes, I owned them, and I'll move on. Just need you guys to know the entire story. I don't do a lot on FABO but I sure as hell am not going to let him make me look bad when I did in fact do the right thing. I dont have anyone on here logging in to stick up for me or anything like that either.

Here's the photo of the paypal transaction proving I sent the money back to him 4 days BEFORE he jumped on here to make me look bad.
