An item I purchased on ebay arrived and it was significantly not as described. Being a fairly reasonable person, the seller and I agreed on a partial refund rather than the hassles with sending the item back in addition to a refund. However the seller wants me to "leave me positive feedback first so paypal can release the funds then ill forward you your $30." Now, I have no real reason to believe the seller is trying to stiff me the $30 but, and this could just be me, would I be walking into a sucker play here and significantly reduce my ability to file a claim if the refund never comes and I left positive feedback?
What is the recommended course of action for those in my position?
