After reading what happened to you, and after remembering the Sopanee Thread linked by Riley, I also think there's something of a pattern here. If that's the case, the profit would come from those buyers who eat it up without claim.

I also think this a matter of principle. So in my opinion you should go all the way in the claim process via eBay and Paypal.

This thing about "mistakes in my shipping department" really makes one angry. The watch he sent you is unacceptable.
