Geez I thought an ebay formal return request is just that a formal return request from ebay?

OP was given options,surely these options didn't come from the buyer lol.

To me this all looks like the typical window shopping buyer that has used it and now doesn't want it and will some how end up with it and OPs money lol.

Ebay just doesn't get it when scam buyers try to rip off decent sellers.

It always has to come down to the seller being punished even when they do the right thing.
