I sold an item for about $160. I honestly forgot about it and received communication from the buyer. I have sold a little on Ebay and am always a responsible seller, I just forgot on this case. Well I offered a refund (full of course) and he said that he did not want a refund that he wanted the item and that if I did not send the item he would turn me over the police department for fraud and theft. I understand his frustration but he seems very difficult to deal with so I figured giving his money back would be the easiest thing to avoid future confrontration. I returned his money despite all his threats of suing and turning me to the police department if I didn't ship the item. He said the auction was a legally binding contract and so on and so forth. I understand all that, like I said, I'm usually an awesome seller but I gave him his money back. So are we now considered done and null? Can he do anything or am I protected with paypal and ebay since I issued a full refund?

Well I did consider going ahead and sending it...but he went on and on about how it better be in excellent shape and it is, its a computer, but I just figured that he might be extremely difficult, find a scratch or something, and then claim it wasn't what matched my description. Just giving him his money back seemed the easiest solution.

Well maybe the item was worth more than what he paid you for it.
So I guess he's pretty mad.
He could be thinking that you got a better deal from someone else.
Why didn't you just send the item, sounds to me like he didn't mind waiting for it.
But I don't think he can do anything about it, except complain to Ebay.

People can sue you for any case that a lawyer will take on. His case would be extemely weak so not many lawyers would be interested, but if it comes to that you should counter sue for the frivolous nature of the suit. Talk to a lawyer for the proper legal terminology but you can seek recourse for your damages/inconvenience resulting from a case that obviously has no merit.

I think since you gave his money back there is nothing he can do. eBay might say or do something to you i don't know what but they might do something
good luck
