I would have only expected the price of the item; not the postage; which is why I didn't want to be dishonest and say 'not as described'.
As for time, I think that's just part and parcel of selling on ebay. I've been selling on ebay for over 18 years and had to deal with a few similar situations and it's always served me well. As I say, I think any seller should strive to do right by a buyer and not take the attitude of 'you bought it, you're stuck with it'.
One guy bought some forks from me that didn't fit his bike (his mistake and he admitted it) I could have easily taken the same stance as my seller but I explained that the forks cost quite a lot to post and as long as he covered the postage costs I'd gladly have them back. I've always been able to reach amicable agreements with people in these circumstances.
We can argue the toss over who was right or wrong all day long; that's not why I posted here. I posted as a heads up that if anyone was intending to buy one of these for a DA crank to expect a mismatch.

This is naive. Would you have paid for their initial postage and time? The seller will always lose on a return.
