Totally agree with the other points made on the ebay return - if you're happy with the cost once the partial refund is issued then fine, but don't take it if you're not, open a 'not as described' case. Buyers are *always* in the right on ebay, that means even if you 'felt' it was fake (regardless of whether that was independently confirmed or not), you can open a case saying that it is not as described and ebay forces the seller to accept a return and pay for postage. A seller saying they don't accept returns is irrelevant, since ebay's buyer protection is that the seller always must accept a return *and* pay for it if the buyer says the item is not as described - you don't actually need to prove that it isn't as described. To be honest the less discussion you have with a seller about that matter, the better. You then get a prepaid return label from ebay and you get the refund.
