No, I sent him an email that paypal said I was going to win and then reported him for feedback extorsion.
After talking to paypal I deceided not to pay him.
Also this email I got this morning helped me decide:
Greetings, I know we have done some business in the past and I see xxxxxxxx hit you with an undeserved negative as well, what a jerk. I just needed to vent.
He gave this guy a negative because he didn't receive an item yet that he paid for on July 20th. (this guy is one state away from me)

Glad you didn't give in.
The feedback extortion should have him kicked off but it REALLY sounds like he knew what he was doing by opening claims and making demands.
If you can hunt around a bit on eBaY you may be able to find another eBaY name he used ~ I can almost guarantee he is a reincarnated NARU bidder.
If he is a reinvention, eBaY will remove anything on your profile but
IF NOT
have confidence in knowing that his remarks are VERY transparent (as stated previously and reinforced from your last post).
add:
one hint I've used before to pick up reincarnates involves the different addresses used in e-mails, eBaY communications and paypal payments.
If you are unfamiliar with what I am referring to and are interested, let me know.

All the emails addresses are the same. (direct, through ebay and through paypal)
Is this what you are talking about?

Yes, that is what I mean.
When a buyer becomes NARU and they reincarnate through eBaY, they typically do not change their paypal addy ~ entering the paypal addy on an eBaY member search will show you a message that is a giveaway for a user that is No Longer Registered.
Another search you can try on eBaY is using the address NAME (deleting the @whatever.com) in a name search ~ could have formerly used it as their eBaY id.
For some reason, this only works when you search for eBaY sellers.
The reason for doing this is if a user has re-registered after they were given the boot, the person should Not have been on eBaY to tranact with you and there feedback is therefore erased.
Does this make sense?
Hopefully it is useful if you cannot have the feedback retracted ~ erased is better, anyway!
It is hard to let go of 100% positive fb!

There is one that looks suspicous. It is in the UK and the ebay username is almost the same as the first part of the email. The account is active though and the feedbacks don't appear to be the same person writing them. There is also one in Germany that is exactly the same as the first part of the email but it has 0 feedback and appears to be active still.

He is waiting for you to send him partial refund,I bet you now the refund button is back!
I would make Paypal sign in blood that you will win the claim under seller protection that it shows delivery and you ship to confirmed address.
Paypal forgets to mention you do not have signature confirmation for an item over 250 dollars.
Also I have yet to confirm with anyone here or at Paypal that the customs number is good enough to prove delivery as Paypal does this with software program,it goes up to USPS website and look for certain data to tell it it has been delivered.

I never agreed to a refund. The last and only email I sent after his request for it was to tell him that paypal said I don't have to pay any of it.
I entered the tracking number in my paypal account when I shipped the item (I do it for every item). The check shipment link at paypal gives the tracking results.

I don't think this guy has come back from a NARU account. He did some stuff that he wouldn't have if he knew better. He obtained tracking results from his postal system that showed that it was waiting for the customs fees to be paid and posted them right in the middle of the paypal dispute comments. The USPS tracking only shows that they attempted to deliver it but not why they didn't.
