Buyer Bought Bait Ponies & Wants a Refund

[LittleSpiffy]

Well, whatever that eBay rep told me wasn't 100% true...or maybe I misunderstood her? 

Anyway, the buyer send the ponies back and I ended up paying for the return shipping...soooo...I am out $5.06 plus the missed opportunity of selling the ponies to someone who may have actually wanted them

At least I updated my return settings!  I can't believe eBay has the automatic acceptance of returns set as the default!  I mean, why even have the option of creating return guidelines when creating a listing?  I'm surprised, but thankful, that I haven't run into this until now.
