unpaid item dispute after paypal refund

hi, i recently bought an item on ebay and started (and won) a paypal dispute because it was broken, they didnt respond to me or the paypal dispute so i automatically got my money back, now they have started an unpaid item dispute and are asking me to pay for the item.

id like to know what to do from here, the items only worth £5 but i dont wanna get a strike on my account for it.

    i replied to the dispute with the date i paid and saying in the comments box that it was paid for and refunded and put both transaction ID's.

    i emailed the seller when i received the item and asked for his address to return it (didnt get a response), i mentioned this in the comment box as well.

    As long as you respond with the number of the original dispute and the traaction number of your payment there should be no problem

    ok thanks :)

    this is the first time this has happend to me and ive been ebaying casually since 2004 its upsetting tbh and i know hes probably only trying to recoup his fees but he emailed saying "please pay for your item" which is taking the p*ss a little.

    funny how he decides to respond when i neg him.

    Follow the advice by cyberbob and hopefully the fraudster will get one instead for making an unwarranted unpaid item dispute :)
