Have you contacted ebay on the initial shipping cost refund & what did they say?

Since the shipping wasn't paid thru paypal they may be able to use that as their out. It's possible they can't charge back to the seller what wasn't originally paid thru paypal.
If they refuse the shipping refund sell 'em locally & recoup what you can. Some days you're the windshield, some days you're the bug!

I never even thought to have someone look at them for me ahead of time.

Maybe this is something we need to do more of.....
One more reason to buy locally where you put your hands(and eyes) on it.

I remember helping Bob Vidan ship some parts over 25 yrs ago(that was BC,before computers)
to this day I still have not met him but would gladly do it again.

You will have to pay shipping back to him to get your original amount back, and it must be delivery confirmed. I lost $20 to a scammer on a barrel that was cracked.

Im sure that some things arent intentionally misleading,cracks in heads that can only be seen under magnaflux,etc but this guy just plain outright lied.
I asked him several times why he only had 1 feedback and why the account was only 6 months old,asking if he had a previous account(and maybe lost it due to poor feedback) never once did he answer. I asked ebay to check into this also but they said they couldnt.

The barrel I bought had 4 pics of some of the typical things M1 Carbine know to take pics of. When I got it it had HEAVY external pitting which was strategically hidden in the pics. I bid top dollar at about $320. When I complained about why he didn't disclose it or take pics of it, it was "oh, I kinda remember some sort of pitting. I didn't remember to mention it." The barrels have a gas cylinder underneath which has a small hole to aid in cleaning if you remove the cyl. It was cracked, welded up, painted and cracked again. "Oh, I didn't realize it was cracked. I'm old and can't see that well. I'm retired on a fixed income." Sending it back insured and delivery confirmation, which is required by ebay dispute resolution center, cost me $20 which you don't get back. A junk barrel had to go back insured.
