when someone ships something that is defective, the buyer should bear no expense. regardless.

You might want to post your experience on some of the dedicated sites like Parker, Elsie, Fox, etc.

Re: I cant refund shipping for any reason... What he means is that he can, but he won't. He owes you the shipping cost. If I were in your buyer's position, I'd give the seller a bit of time to see the error of his ways, and then I'd find ways to make his life miserable. The fine gun community is pretty small, so you as a gunsmith probably don't want to do this, but your buyer certainly can.

Guys:
If I make an error like this I refund the shipping. However, I have had many folks sent me guns for purchase, the description that they gave me about the gun and the gun that "actually" showed up were different. I called and said where is the gun you described, as the one you sent was not the one you told me about. I think the guy sending the gun to me should have paid for the return shipping, but I paid.
I guess from now on I will make them pay!

Failure to identify the cracked wrist is a misrepresentation of the gun. It's not like it's a minor cosmetic fault. If, in fact, the seller didn't notice this than it is not only an issue of misrepresentation, but of competence as well.
Both are on him, you should be refunded shipping as well. This should be a reputation issue for the seller.

Postscript to my original post:
I have purchase guns from various major "knowed" gun auction companies, names that you would know right away. I have had serious oversights from them in the descriptions. Buffed receivers, serious cracked stock, broken items. I have never been able to get them to pay for shipping. I have paid for the shipping to me and back to them. Wish they thought like you guys!

As Ken stated it was misrepresented, the buyer said it was sound with "this set has only light use with a couple minor marks on the stock". He noticed that but did not notice the crack running around the wrist. Shame on him. If you just paid for this by credit card, I would call the credit card and tell them your circumstances and have them cancel it, if a check, stop payment. Then see what he has to say about refunding the shipping.......both ways.
