Seller's message:
"According to return policy,buyer have to paid the return shipping,and I will issue you refund including the shipping I paid for that I shipped this mail to you.It is fair we both pay the shipping.I sold many and they all work perfectly,the transponder(chip) for your fiesta is chip4D63 which is correct,The 4D63 transponder chip is from Taxes Instrument which is the same as Ford,so it works for sure.I receive your picture of both of your original key,but please put the key you bought from me also(please pop out the key blade),if the key cut failed,I can replace a new key blade for you for free,or you can send the valet key to me,I can get the transponder programmed for you for free,please trust me,the key works for sure,or you can just return the key back for refund.Please understand the return shipping should be paid by buyer(please check my return policy),and the key works for sure,you can send the valet key to me,I can get it programmed for you for free.Thank you. "

Your message to the seller:
"According to ebays rules YOU (the seller)should pay postage for the return of the item which is faulty, you cannot under these rules make up your own returns policy. please read the link i sent you. I have asked for a refund of the key and return postage which you seem to be refusing. I am entitled for you to pay return postage under these rules as the key does not work. have been told the transponder chip is dead. also not been able to program it to the central locking. key cutting went fine but its the programming which you seem to have got WRONG in your ebay listing as you cannot program this key as said in it therefore this is also mis-selling. if you will not agree to cover return postage i will be escalating this claim to a dispute. nat"

well yeah you've sort of said it yourself- seller has to cover return costs as its their fault. Just keep it up. I never deal with sellers abroad (specifically china/taiwan etc.) I could instantly tell from the first message he was from there.

Especially as I just sold an item, the guy who bought it doesn't want it, and because I need to sell it quickly and I could get neg rep if he wanted it I have to cancel sale and this guy gets away scott free as I can't give neg feedback anymore as a seller.
