Even with positive feedback, he can still open a refund request. If he does, you wont have a choice but to refund him AND you might get a defect.

The purchase was in November, presumably after the 18th as that's when the extension from 45 days to 180 was implemented, but no eBay defect is possible (an open PayPal dispute doesn't count against the seller after the timeframe for eBay's Money Back Guarantee has expired, and it most likely would have by now since the timeframe is the last ETA in the listing + 30 days. That's assuming the dispute was relatively recent, anyway).

A case for item not as described a couple of months after receipt and use is not necessarily a lost cause for the seller - PayPal do not enforce warranties (even if one was offered, etc), as they state quite specifically they cover INAD only on the item in its received state.

Should you refund? Well, I wouldn't, unless it was the right thing to do (that is, the equipment was faulty), cos I won't pay buyers to go away, or pay for their mistakes. (Easy for me to say, perhaps, I've never come across an insistent buyer whose behaviour concerned me enough to consider it).
