Is this normal?

Me again. Royal Mail has eaten a couple of my items in recent months, including a secondhand book I won. The seller refunded me a couple of weeks ago and we left positive feedback for each other, but today he opened an Unpaid Item Dispute. I presume it was to recoup his fees for the lost item, and I agreed on the dispute with his comment that we were not proceeding so it's now closed.
Is that a normal thing for a seller to do? It seems a strange thing to do, particularly the Ebay comment that a strike would not now be put on my account (when I did in fact pay promptly and got it refunded). It's not an area of Ebay I've ever used before; it would have been nice if he'd contacted me to say that was what he was doing, that's all.

The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.

It's just a way for him to get his eBay costs back. If I have to use that method, i always send a covering e-mail to explain what it means and why I am doing it.
The comment about the strike is because if you go through a UPI and it isn't resolved, you will be given a strike. When you both mutually agree to either not proceed, or that the dispute has been concluded to your mutual satisfaction, then no strike is awarded. So the message you got is just eBay's standard message.0 -
Cool - thanks.
