You've done more than enough already, people expect the world these days. If he wanted specific measurements, he should have done his due diligence beforehand.

I sell on ebay and do not refund shipping. Unless the item has a mistake on the listing, my error. But not just because they want to whine.
Shipping doesn't come out of $60, shipping is in addition to. Regardless, he doesn't owe him a dime. He's not a business. The buyer changed his mind, why should the seller lose? Giving a refund, even partially is like letting the buyer scam him.
Why does it not fit? The buyer should know what size his watch is and what kind of bracelet he needs - so if he orders a wrong one, he made a mistake and has to pay the shipping costs for the return.
If the seller made a mistake and sent a wrong or damaged bracelet, the seller should refund the shipping costs for the return.

They could also send everything to me, i will fix the bracelet and fix the watch and refund both. And give a polish on top.

If the few dollars are so much money for the buyer, then he should get another hobby.
People like that are the reason why I haven't sold anything here yet, because I'm not in the mood for shit like that.

I think he's dreaming, I think he's lucky you refunded at all. It's not your problem he doesn't know what bracelet fits his watch. I hope you received the bracelet back before making any refund.
I can't seem to find a link to said bracelet sale... that's breaking the rules @tbandy - I hope there was one?
However with regard the question, as most have said. Nup, no way. And he's lucky he got money back at all.

So much ado about 8.51$? Really?

Just spent that on a Starbucks, damn you inflation
I think that the amount was secondary.
The reason why so many people are interested is the overall principle of what's right and what's unfair in aftersales

theres alot of variables here
was it listed as a dj bracelet, sub bracelet ?
aftermarket bracelet ?
was it listed as 51.xx and shipping 8.xx
or 60.00 shipping included
or 60 free shipping
i mean you paid the shipping to him and got 60
he paid the shipping back and got 51.xx which using your math would have netted him 43 ish back ?
so now hes out double the shipping cost ?

First of all, I wasn't selling anything. I saw a post from a fellow member saying that he needs a replacement bracelet for his DJ
So I decided to contact him via PM telling him that I have 2 and sent him the pictures so he can choose which one he likes
He pointed the one of his interest, the he asked me how much, then I asked him that how much he think was a fair price !
I was just trying to help someone who has a broken bracelet, but now I see that trying to help is BAD idea
But I am just a collector not a dealer in any way !

If you had gifted the bracelet that would be one thing but money exchanging hands is a sale and if there is no approved sales thread then it is considered a backdoor sale.
I commend you for doing that, helping a fellow member is a GOOD idea

Helping out is not a bad thing, nobody says that. But try to see it from this point of view:
It is always better for both, the seller and the buyer, to have it all documented in an official sales thread. You can create a reserved sale in this case. This way there can't be any misunderstandings if something goes wrong.
Seriously guys. I'm pro rwi and pro rules of course.
I know people here from almost day one. I have private numbers and even met a few. Hell I've even sent out watches to people to try them because I consider them friends.
I've sent numerous parts for free or to try if they fit and they paid me afterwards.
Why is he bashed because of the missing sale? Isn't it enough to tell him he won't get a support? It's no watch sale from a shady member or wannabe seller nor of any high value.
He isn't asking for any intervention and even tries to keep the other members details private. He just wants an opinion.
In my opinion you're overreacting a little bit...
