Hi Badwolf. I'm afraid that I've heard of these sort of problems before, where what the seller says goes as far as Ebay is concerned irrespective of the facts of the matter. I'm a long-term Ebay buyer and seller, but luckily I've never had any problems. I would suggest a quick google to find out how other sellers have tackled this problem. Perhaps there is an escalation process within Ebay for you to take it to a higher level?
Unfortunately, at the end of the day it's just your word against his, and I would guess that your chances of coming through unscathed are slim. However, if he gves you negative feedback you could just respond to it with a factual response so that future potential buyers can see that it's a one-off. We have a similar problem with our holiday apartment, sometimes we get bizarre feedback posted on the hosting website which we have no opportunity to respond to. If it's just a one-off, and the rest of your feedback is OK, I think people ignore the odd one that bucks the trend.
