Next is preparing it for shipping. I plan on sending it back exactly the way I received it, same box and packing material. I'm going to video tape putting it in the box and sealing it closed. I will also include the email with photos that I sent him as proof (includes picture of serial number)...
I called my local post office and was told that I could insure it for the amount that I paid as long as I had a receipt.
Also, the seller contacted me and again denied any wrong doing (my eyes are lying). He said that he will not refund my money until he receives the gun back and emphasized...
According to Blue Book of Airguns 5th Edition (Google books), at 60% of original condition the value would be $55. I would say that this gun is around 40%.
How much should I insure it for?
I paid $180, but the gun he sent is worth approx. $60 on a good day. I was planning on buying $100 worth of insurance and putting the value at $60.
I'm going to return the item on Monday.

Thanks
Should I escalate, submit proof to paypal and let them handle it even though the seller is now showing a willingness to resolve the problem. Here's what bothers me the most, I know for a fact that he intended to rip me off and provided him the proof. But still he continues to deny any wrong...
So it looks like I will be out the return shipping cost, that sucks. Also for the best protection I should send it through USPS, right? Anything else I should do to protect myself from this fraudster? btw I paid $180 shipped.

I got a response through the paypal resolution center. He said he will give me a refund (didn't mention shipping cost) only when he receives the item back and that he better get the same item. Still denying any wrong doing. I am almost positive if I ship it back he is going to say I...
Thanks for the advice. I filed a SNAD claim with paypal about 20 minutes ago. While I am waiting for a response from the seller I noticed that he had sent me an email around 2 hours ago. He says he is not going to do squat for me because I am trying to scam him.
Should I go ahead and escalate...

Yes, I paid through paypal. I asked the seller for a refund plus return shipping than I would return the item. He said no way, send it back to me first.
Long story short.
I won an item on Ebay.
The seller sent me a different item in horrible condition (completely obvious).
I contacted him immediately, explained the situation and asked for a refund plus return shipping.
He denied that it was different and would do nothing.
I submitted...
