I freakin love you Salpy:) 
So kCherry, have you heard anymore from him? 

[RockinPrettyBeats]

You should show them this thread. Haha!

[ponylady]

You should show them this thread. Haha!

Or send him that video!

It kind of looks like he took fire to them, or something.  I agree that it doesn't look like any sort of damage I've ever seen on dance shoes.  I wonder if he had buyer's remorse, and did something to them on purpose to get a refund

That totally sucks, Cherry.  I hope you get some help from ebay.

[kCherry]

Do you have a link to your auction with the original images of the shoes?

  Yup, here's my  listing, http://www.ebay.com/itm/280904708776?ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1559.l2649

And no, I haven't heard anything back from him so I'm thinking that he's done playing me. I don't know if I should expect to hear anything back from eBay, but if I do I'll update here to let you guys know what the outcome was.

  Cheers, guys!

Here's to hoping he just leaves you alone without you losing any money or having more hassles!

[kCherry]

Got this one from him this morning, "Has Ebay told you to give me my refund yet?"
I have nothing to say to the man and I believe I've made that quite clear. This guy has nerve, I'll give him that!

[NoDivision]

...what the heck? What an idiot. Yeah, continue to ignore him and just wait for ebay. Sheesh.

You should get your correspondence records together just in case eBay does come knocking at your door. If he sent you anything indicating that he caused the damage to the shoes, keep that message especially handy.

I'm sorry you've been going through this! I understand the kind of anxiety that these things can cause, even if you're 100% sure that you're in the right.

Comparing HIS last photo you listed, to the ones you listed on your eBay auction, the pictures he sent you look like they are a smaller size shoe.  The mesh over the toe looks way shorter than it does in your pictures, even considering that photo size could play an issue. It just isn't proportional.  I bet if he included a picture of the entire shoe, the proportions would be way off and give it away easily. I wonder if he would be willing to show the entire shoe with the tongue exposing the size for you.

[kCherry]

  Thanks, guys. Yeah, I'm not even responding with a "No." He doesn't even deserve that from me, at this point. He's just trying to stress me further hoping to get more money out of me. Whatever. I have kept every bit of the correspondence between the two of us and every message has been through eBay, so they already have access to everything that has been said. I do wish I'd hear Something from them. But considering how lovely eBay is to sellers these days I really don't expect to hear anything from them at all. He might and maybe then he'll finally go away.

  Hmmmmm... He did send this one with the other pics,

I just wanted to put my two cents in here and say, I used to be a dancer. I got a pair of jazzshoes that look abit like those in your picture. I used them for the three years I went to danceschool and danced in them, after that I've used them as workshoes for 6 years+, walking outside in rain, snow and sunshine in them even though they're not even ment for that and they don't look ANYTHING like those O.o My danceshoes still look perfectly fine alltho with normal wear after all these years.
That looks like his dog or something had a party with them.

And if they came to him in the state that you described them it's not your problem what happends to them when he started using them. I almost think you were too kind in giving him half a refund since none of that in the picture is your fault in any way shape or form

[RockinPrettyBeats]

I would respond. Always respond. I would tell him straight out that you no longer believe him and that you think he's playing you. Say that you regret refunding anything and that you're going to report him to Ebay as a scammer that he his.

Why would he feel the need to take a pic of a close up of the size if he wasn't scamming? Seriously. Who does that?
