Seller trying to get me to change my honest feedback by offering me small refunds

I gave a Seller a neutral feedback because the item they sent to me was not as described in their advertisement. I asked for a refund but instead they gave me a partial refund and told me to keep the item. Now they are trying to offer me a few dollars more to change my feedback to positive.  I told them I would only change my feedback for a full refund and I am happy to send the item back to the PO Box number that's on the parcel.  The item is totally useless to me and will end up in the charity bin anyways. I have a feeling this Seller is not in Australia and the the PO Box in NSW could just be a 'friend' or may not exist at all.  What do I do?

That's right, they are not in Australia, it says they are registered in Singapore

 

Ignore the messages and block them, report them too if you wish

 

They are not allowed to hound people to change feedback, and especially not bribe them to do it

 

If you do change the feedback, not only do they win but they will keep on doing it to others because they know their bribes work

 

If you do return it, you need to follow correct ebay procedure to do so

 

It will save you a lot of grief in future if you check where the seller is registered (sellers can put ANYWHERE as the item location, it does'nt mean that is where it really is, or that they are even in the same country) and their feedback, this seller's feedback is disgusting

The seller is in Singapore and has 47 negative feedback in the past month,why didn't you check the feedback before you purchased?

I did check, gave them the benefit of doubt based on the description and picture on their ad.

Open a not as described case under the money back guarantee through ebay and the seller will be responsible for return postage. Never, nevergiveuppp - keep hounding them for a refund, and don't change your feedback if you get a refund. Just leave a response to theirs.

I think calling it a woollen coat and then saying it's made from cotton leaves them subject to a not as described case.
