I am probably an eBay (seller) fool....

but I had not heard back from the buyer of my Mac.

So, I looked and found an OWC video on how to replace the drive. And I found an affordable 'buy now'/make offer eBay seller drive.

I emailed the buyer and offered to help pay for the replacement drive if they feel after watching the OWC video that they would be willing to attempt the replacement themselves.

It just bugs me that they seemed like they were less than thrilled with the purchase.
I'm a push-over/softy.

Oh yah. Remember that one thing I bought from you that one time? It doesn't work anymore. I want a new one.

I was going to buy something from you but it's probably already broke
so just go ahead and send my refund back now to save time.

You're being too amenable to your zero feedback buyer. eBay is rife with fraud; it's really best to assume that a person without any reliable history, especially one buying electronics and claiming nonexistent problems, is up to no good. Now they're armed with your email, which is practically an admission that the drive is somehow dysfunctional. I worry that they'll get the charges reversed and, conveniently, "lose" your item in return shipping.

I'm too nice. Overall if I lose it all, I'm not going to sweat it.

[Big Daddy Cool]

you're silly.

What is your ebay ID? If someone is going to take advantage of you it might as well be one of us :biggrin:
