Balanced individuals of GD, help me make a decision. I'm grumpy after nightshifts and feel incapable of making the right call.

I bought my son a lego figure off ebay described as in excellent condition. It arrived in less than ideal condition, sloppy joints, the hands so worn they couldn't hold a plastic lightsabre up straight. I entered into dispute and the seller agreed on the 22nd of may for a partial refund so I could buy new Hands and arms.

Fair enough.

Then no contact or refund, so I escalated the case and got a full refund from ebay. Then I receive this message from the seller....


Hi there please consider changing my neg feedback - I have had 100% record for years and just now have started ebaying stuff for my child. We have had so much stress (family bereavements) and I accept having said I wld do a 50% refund I didn't know how and then we went away, then had a tummy bug...I shd have just done a 100% refund - it is only £7 and now buyers won't trust me. I see you have 100% (including my feedback re you)so I know you know it is important. We will send another SW figure

Change the feedback or not? I'm tired, had a row with the Mrs already today and still have cars to clean and grass to cut. I am grumpy and want to tell them to get lost, but the family breavement is tugging on my heart strings :(

Yet the grumpy part of me thinks they are just trying it on. My wifes useless in these instances, she would see the good in people if they had sent a dump in a bag.
 
I think you should just cut the grass today.

Wash the cars on the weekend.

That is exactly what I have decided to do, grass is done cba to clean the cars now :D

I hadn't considered I have a full refund and have the figure. To be honest new hands and arms will cost me £3 or £4 anyway. I did give them time to resolve. 2 weeks approx from last communication. With hours of leaving the neg feedback I got the message I posted.

I'm not interested in them sending me another figure, I don't think they are offering one of the same just another figure.

I will sleep on it and probably change it to neutral, although "bereavements" suggesting more than one, grumpy cynic that I am thinks they are trying it on :D
