eBay: Bait n Switch?

And that assumes the buyer isn't trying to outright scam you... I recently sold a collection of card-like items, and one guy bought 4 of them. I mailed them all together between two pieces of cardboard, and he emailed me a few days later to ask if I had perhaps had multiples and sent him the wrong one, because one of the cards had a major crease across the front that had not been in the picture, although the other three were fine.

Now, I am 100% certain those cards were in pristine condition when I put them in the package. It might have gotten damaged in shipping, sure--except how does a single card get folded while taped tightly between two pieces of cardboard, yet the other three flush up against it do not? I asked him to send me a picture of the damaged card so I could try to figure out what went wrong, and I'd happily refund his money. All of a sudden he decides nevermind, he wants to keep the "damaged" card after all and he considers the matter closed. Yeah, sure dude.
