Hi @ColnagoDaft,
In response to your points:
An offer of a brand new Shimano BB was made. Rejected.
A partial refund was offered. Rejected.
I'd like to point out that these offers were made well after this conversation had started. It was only after I'd been told he'd turn up on my doorstep and already opened the PayPal dispute that he said he'd "stick a BB in the post". No mention of a brand new Shimano BB.
I asked for £40, he responded with "£20. Final offer."I rejected the refund because it wasn't an amount I consider sufficient.
A full refund was offered. Buyer pays return postage, which is pretty fair as my mate has shelled out postage on outward leg.
If the frame hadn't been miss-sold I'd agree to this. Absolutely.
I'm happy to post the entire text message thread on here for all to see. But I don't think anyone wants that.
I have nothing to hide.

I'm selling this frame on behalf of a friend, as stated in the advert. First to clear a few things up, Thomas has been rather duplicitous and economical with the truth.

These have been met with nothing but derision and abuse. You haven't seen this side of the txt messaging. Threats: If asking if it's possible to pick up a frame from said address in person is a threat, then he probably eats his dinner off paper plates and has a line of shit paper all.the way to the front door.
The ad clearly stated 'restoration project'- if it had said 'like new' the buyer would have a leg to stand on.
His problem seems to be he didn't have the tool to remove the bracket (which had fuck all play in it and was in gwo when sent).
Granted there are cunt sellers on here and ebay, there are also cunt buyers who abuse PayPal returns.
The above Thomas is such an example of a CB.
This is my only response. So put your popcorn away.
Failing to return property, after a refund has been offered, under the 'moveable property' section of the act is a Criminal offence in Scottish law. It's not a civil matter. PayPal doesn't mean zip in a court of law. There's a reason why PayPal don't get involved in legal disputes - because their 'rules' are not legal definitions and courts simply ignore them and try the case on its legal merits, in the jurisdiction the case was filed.
If the buyer thinks a criminal record is worth the effort, it's clear that ultimately that's where this issue is heading.
